What compels us to tell and listen to stories? As I discuss with USA Today Bestselling author R.R. Virdi - storytelling is likely as old as humanity itself.
We have an in-depth conversation about what storytelling has looked like, from its origins to how mythology and tales were shared along trade routes, with evidence that the tales we know in our western mythos actually originate in stories and far older.
We then chat about Virdi’s novels, The First Binding, and the upcoming, The Doors of Midnight - and how his love of mythology and storytelling shaped and formed these epic stories of his own.
This was such an insightful and engaging conversation. I hope you’ll join us.
