1. This American Life
Long before podcasts were a thing, Ira Glass made storytelling history with This American Life. I discovered TAL during architecture school, when endless hours in the studio translated into quality time with Ira. I have my go-to?s ? Fiasco, Stories of Loss, Guns, Kid Logic, Act V ? but I?m not discriminating. I?ve listened to every single episode ? that?s 673 hours of awesome and an absolutely endless arsenal of references. I believe the best way to learn how to tell great stories, an essential skill for any design leader, is to surround yourself with great stories, and pretty much nothing trumps TAL. Photo: Leslie Witt
