Podcast Episode 073 - Once Upon a Time- The Science, History, and Magic of Storytelling
In this episode, we explore storytelling as humanity’s oldest and most powerful tool. From ancient cave paintings and oral traditions to novels, films, and TikTok, stories have always been how humans connect, teach, and survive. We’ll unpack how narratives shaped cultures and religions, why brains are wired to remember stories over facts, and how storytelling continues to influence politics, marketing, and even how we see ourselves. Expect a mix of history, science, and fun pop culture references that will help you see every conversation, headline, or viral meme as part of a much bigger narrative. By the end, you’ll know why stories aren’t just entertainment - they’re the framework of human life.
