Storytelling has been the most effective way of memorably communicating since the first utterances of our species. It connects us, links us to our past and present, and offers a glimpse into our future. It’s a means to a collective and shared memory, a basis for tradition and a conduit for the most fundamental aspects of culture. Come explore the art and science of storytelling as Joseph Ramunni traces its roots from our earliest traditions to modern films and finally, to the tweets that shape today’s political landscape.
