Telling Stories

Phoebe McIndoe

16 episodes

1 week ago

A school for sharing ideas and inspiration around good storytelling. “What makes a good story?”, “What excites us most about stories?”, “How can we be better at engaging with this fragile and robust art form?” Each week Phoebe McIndoe and Redzi Bernard speak with a well-known storyteller to receive their golden insights and advice. Like all good schools, at the end of each episode there will be homework; a unique storytelling challenge for you to join in.

I have been following Jess’s work ever since I heard Bats in the Attic on BBC Shortcuts. Jess so artfully integrates two weaving strands of a story together to create a 7-minute piece which is moving, poetic and challenging. The way Jess deals with grief - with curiosity and even humour - is so powerful. We spoke to Jess about Bats in the Attic and her programme Unchained which explores the impact of short term prison sentences on women's lives. You can listen to the episode here.

If you want to think more deeply about some of the ideas presented in this episode, Jess has offered these links as a place to start:
