Origin Stories

Mike Daisey

KMO talks with monologist Mike Daisey about origin stories, the unconscious, will, ritual and the reality of mythology versus the idea of an objective universe. And yes, there's a good long section on Mike's adventure of being thrown under the bus by Ira Glass. Mike argues that the point of that exercise was to make sure that attention stayed focused squarely on the story-teller who committed a journalistic sin and away from a show that mixes story-telling with journalism.
