I am a big fan of storytelling in general, but as a blogger with a topic that most find mind-numbingly boring (data quality), I can certainly relate to the advice from Ira Glass. Every topic has the potential to become an interesting story. And I certainly agree with Akerlof and Shiller about the human mind being built to think in terms of narrative. After all, a life well-lived is basically a story well-told. Best Regards, Jim Great post Geoff,
