Week 7 Digital Storytelling

I'm not used to podcasts under twenty minutes.  Just about all the ones I listen to are over an hour long.  I listen to them while I play video games most of the time, mostly mindless ones like Elite: Dangerous or Battlefront II.  Its about the most multi-tasking I am capable of.  Flying a spaceship or playing a multiplayer match I've done dozens of times before?  It doesn't require my full attention.

Most of what carries me through a podcast isn't the stories, but the personalities telling them.  How does the saying go?  "A good joke told poorly doesn't land, while a bad joke told well can get an entire room to laugh."  Something along those lines.  Basically says that no matter what your story is, if the person telling it isn't entertaining, the story won't grab anyone's attention.
