Less is More

"The Power of the anecdote is so great...No matter how boring the material is, if it is in story form...there is suspense in it, it feels like something's going to happen. The reason why is because literally it's a sequence of events...you can feel through its form that it is inherently like being on a train that has a destination...and that you're going to find something..." — Ira Glass

It is like being on a train that has a destination -- Ira Glass
