from Socially Democratic · host Stephen Donnelly

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly this week switches it up and becomes the interviewee for a change, joining founder of Fireside Agency and host of StoryCraft podcast - Ben Hart, for their final episode of StoryCraft, season one. Stephen talks about the rise of public narrative theory in politics, how Dan Andrews deftly used it to become the first Victorian Opposition leader in 60 years to defeat a one-term government, and why it can also be a potent organising tool for anyone trying to lead others through conditions of uncertainty.Looking for more on the art, craft and science of storytelling?
