Listen to Mike Daisey Tell You A Story
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Listen to this recording of Mike Daisey telling a story about Maureen Dowd, Facebook, Twitter, the death of print media, the movie Young Guns, douchebags, and more. There's a lot that will ring true - and hilarious - for anyone who spends time thinking about how we use the internet. (Warning: contains some NSFW language.)
Mike Daisey is a master storyteller. I've been fortunate enough to follow his work since his first New York production 21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com back in 2002. I've probably seen Mike tell his stories live over a dozen times. Now it's your turn to hear what's so great about him.
Mike performs these stories extemporaneously, i.e. without a script. He simply sits at a desk with a basic outline of topics to cover and proceeds to weave together these incredibly complex and compelling tales.
(You may have heard about Mike a couple years ago when a group of students walked out in the middle of one of his shows, and one of the adult instructors actually walked onto stage and destroyed Mike's notes.)
Seriously, listen to this recording.
The recording is a little over an hour. So, you might want to download the MP3 file and listen to it at your leisure later on.
If you enjoy this, you should put yourself on Mike Daisey's email list, so that you can find out about his upcoming shows. His next show will be on June 8th at Joe's Pub in NYC, and will be all about bacon... mmmmm. Tickets are available here.
In marketing we talk a lot about the value of telling a good story. It's nice to have such a good reminder of what that actually sounds like.
