Episode 88: What's The Story? A Podcast for the Post-Truth Era

In this episode, we bring Tech Bites engineer David Tatasciore out of the control room and into the studio to talk about his latest project, What's the Story? – a fictional comedy podcast about storytelling and journalism for the "post-truth era." Launched in January of 2017, it follows the story of Ray Elliott, who quits his job as a fact-checker in order to stop being a professional story ruiner and become a professional storyteller – because "stories are what move us, not facts." David and WTS? creator Bryan Farrell join us in studio to discuss the timeliness of making a fake radio news podcast and what the "post-truth era" means.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
