They’re a fundamental way in which we communicate.
Whether it’s regaling friends with an anecdote in the pub or using a story to convey a serious message our oratory has the power to move people, start movements and bring communities together.
Simone Kirkup knows this better than anyone. That’s why she started Long Story Short during the first coronavirus lockdown in 2020 (remember that!).
Long Story Short is a community-focused event that has the aim of bringing people together to share their lived experiences through stories.
She has come on the podcast to talk about the power of stories and shares why she thinks they still hold such a powerful place in our collective psyche.
