9: Empire Stories (Sn 1 Finale)
from Talking Our Story: The Story Behind a Family of Storytellers · host JAJ Minton
How do you go from being raised on stories to making them side by side? In the season one finale of Talking Our Story, John and Amy sit down with their son Jakob to tell the behind-the-scenes story of how the Minton family finally became true creative partners. They trace the road from Jakob’s high school comedy skits to college desk comedy and independent filmmaking to writing a science fiction series—all without losing the warmth (or honesty) that comes from being family. This conversation is about timing, trust, and the moment a family stops telling stories to each other—and starts creating them together.Join the StoryYouTube: “Talking Story: A Fantastical Fiction Channel”: https://www.youtube.com/@Talking_StoryInstagram, Twitter/X, and TikTok: @jajmintonWebsite: https://www.jajminton.comDiscord: discord.gg/talkingstoryPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TalkingStoryStrange Eons, Book One: Discovery, in paperback, ebook, and audio: https://a.co/d/0e1qP6e2Music Credit: “New Echota” by Galapaghost via Uppbeat.io
