The Three Layers of a Well Told Story with Radio Journalist Jake Warga | Ep. 012

This week my guest is award winning radio journalist, Jake Warga. Jake is a contributor to NPR, Public Radio International, and American Public Media. His stories have been featured on programs such as All Things Considered and This American Life. On top of making his own stories, Jake also teaches storytelling as a lecturer at Stanford University.

In this conversation, Jake and I discuss how one of his first radio stories ended up on This American Life, the three layers of a well told story, and how the brevity, clarity, and visual nature of writing for radio can teach us all how to tell better stories.
