I love the book. I love the book. And not just not just the thesis, which I have to say ends in kind of a scary place, which I'm sure we'll get to in the conversation. But just, you know, I know you said it took you 25 years, and I understand why, because the sheer volume of crazy anecdotes in this book is off the charts. I woke my wife up after she fell asleep one night.
We have a dog and I was like, I gotta read you some stuff about dogs in this book. About the dog. I'm Caleb Bissinger. And I'm Rufus Grisscomb. And this is the next big idea.
Today, the million year story of stories. So Rufus, you know this about me. I am a complete sucker for books about storytelling, right? Like we had Will Storr on the show to talk about story, one of my favorite episodes. I I spoke with Angus Fletcher over the summer about storytelling.
We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (53 minutes, 8,556 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 5 episodes for $3.49, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
