Let me tell you a story with Professional Storyteller Joy Pitt
b'The ability to tell stories we are told is what distinguishes Homo sapiens from all other species. Stories are the glue that bind millions of people together to a common idea, to a common interpretation of the world. That\\u2019s why stories are so important and so powerful. \\u2018Controlling the narrative\\u2019 is a phrase we hear regularly now in our political discourse. Christianity, Brexit, Fake news, the latest crime figures or the Nike swoosh are all the consequence of someone creating and telling a story. For as long as there has been language there have been stories.\\n\\nAbout our guest\\n\\nJoy Pitt is a professional storyteller who joins us for a fascinating conversation about the role of stories and story telling in a contemporary context.
