Once Upon Your Time

Today's episode marks the first in Season 4 as Sherry & Theresa dive into their tagline, Science & Stories (focusing perhaps a bit more on the story part).This introduction to the season touches on stories as they reflect our respective cultures (2:07) as well as the stories we make from our personal observations (3:54). Stories take the listener on a journey (7:51) and remind us that we are always in flow - as the old saying goes that a person never steps into the same river twice (12:41). Theresa's full body yawn practice (14:54) moves the body and tells a story of its own.Lin Manuel Miranda's epic, Hamilton, sings "who lives who dies who tells your story," leaving the listener with that existential question. Sherry & Theresa talk a bit about this - who tells our story? - which takes us back to S2 E17 - After the Because. We are an anthology of stories (31:48) waiting to be lived & told. The hosts go on to talk about the intention of a story (39:56) and how easy it is to get sucked into good stories as Sherry reveals her bingeing on the show Supernatural. Our stories live on (47:25).Referenced in the show:How Your Body Tells the Story of Your Life (from Welldoing.org)The Book, Sapiens - by Yuval Noah HarariWhy Stories Matter - British CouncilTED TALK - Tim GoundryUsed by not referenced directly is a great article called, Why Do Stories Matter, by American Writers Museum.Anecdotal Anatomy's Amazing Team:Judith George - Editor (video & audio)Keith Kenny - MusicCindy Fatsis - Photography
