This comic book layout was an interesting way to convey this information, but I thought it was really appropriate because it was more like Ida Glass telling a story. I felt like I was being taken on a journey with that girl he was talking to, and the visuals were great. The part that impacted me the most was when he started talking about visual storytelling. It was good to learn how to get people to go further in explaining the story in a third dimension, and how he politely pokes people delve into more detail. I also loved how he provokes questions from people and works to open them up in order to evoke certain emotions that they wouldn't have otherwise experienced. It's the part about interviews I love the most--it makes the interviewee introspectively analyze what they're feeling.
Ira Glass definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to how the structure of both telling and putting together a narrative work. He seems to have a good knowledge of rhetoric and literature structures. It makes a lot of sense when he talks about logging tape for editing--it's so vital--especially when doing documentaries. I'm also interested to see how I can start using "vamps" for future radio work.
