How Has Storytelling Changed? Outlining, Character Development, Audiences: Ep. 2

In this episode, number two of the Jesse Tate Podcast, I sit down once again with my sister Savannah as we continue discussing the ever-shifting landscape of storytelling, how it has changed and continues to change, what and how this reflects of our culture, and how to develop characters in a resonant, emotional way. We discuss the tension between aiming deliberately towards a 'theme' or 'message' and letting things flow 'naturally,' which often produces a much more organic, subtle, and multifaceted story that is less focused, less rigid, but possibly less impacting than a deliberate theme. We discuss the tension between appealing to an audience and pursuing complete uniqueness/singularity in our approach. I'm not sure if we discuss the validity of an audience's (or society's) role in determining conversations of value; but if we didn't then we should have. We also discuss our outlining processes, and more!
Enjoy!

    Great talk. Definitely a lot of helpful discussion in relation to writing and I found some of it similar to my own experience.

    You're pretty damn intelligent. I honestly feel kinda bad that you're not getting much views

    Any channel lucky enough to have the Flash commenting in person is a very lucky channel, regardless of general audience size. Thanks Barry! I'm not too worried. I've just recently started and haven't applied myself much (at all) to marketing or optimizing or thinking about how to best grow the channel. I'm sure as I get into a rhythm things will slowly come together. And as long as I can keep having interesting conversations, stimulating my own mind in the process and so on, I don't really view any part of the process as frustrating or wasteful. The views will come! Or I'll publish muy book first and get super rich and famous and not need views. Anyway thanks for the views and the consideration! Hope you are well

    @@JesseTate Your actual content is of way higher quality than some popular channels but you're not presenting it with some flashy visuals and interesting editing so that's why it does seem to be that "premium". I loved your tenet breakdown and all the plot holes that it's version of time travel creates, I might even link your video to r/tenet to break them out of their echo chamber where they keep coming up with new explanations to justify all the plot holes. Anyway, keep making KZread videos and putting in effort, but be clever about it. You're smart you'll figure it out. Good luck 👍

    yes you're definitely right. If I want to pursue numbers and audience in the most efficient way, I should definitely devote a bit more to graphics, an intro, an outro, fast-moving and fast-talking . . . . the only question is whether I want to. So far I haven't had much time to devote to this channel, among everything else I'm doing, so I've been fairly content with my method. But there are probably some small changes I could make which would get bigger results and not take too much time . . . . thanks for the encouragement! I'll experiment around
