Can stories get a message across?

Since my focus is the message, not a specific topic, might as well talk about the medium of storytelling and how effective it is. In this episode I talk about: -How stories feed my soul (1:30) -Stories getting a message across in Spider-Man Into the Spider Verse and Pixar (Soul) (7:15) -How to not be preachy (24:30) -Other forms different from storytelling and combining them (26:55) This one is a longer and more raw episode in a way, partially what I intended for this series to be... Quotes: "For me in stories, the best, end up feeding my soul" (2:06) "Stories are essentially experiences" (3:00) "You must become like a child" (5:10) Pete Docter Paragraphs (9:52) "For it to be effective the person has to be open minded" (11:33) "Good job Sony." (12:57) "I think the stereotype of animation only being for kids affects the teens and adults that could learn from it" (16:35) Mentioned: Spider Man Into The Spider Verse The Interview with Pete Docter Soul A Pixar Film Pixar Alternative Platforms: Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Overcast Spotify RadioPublic PocketCasts Sorry for the mic quality, better one on the way. Thanks for listening. Really appreciate the patience for you sticking with this journey, you constantly coming back (something I aspire too....it's coming..slowly..) which means a lot. I got some cool new episodes and general content that I'm excited for so hope if it's right, it'll come out and it might bring you closer to God and some value. If you want to, share this with one person. If you don't that's still cool. Either way, thank you for listening, or even just reading this. I appreciate it. Thank you. -Nathan (potential naming on the way for like the 4th time. Thanks!)
