Story Mechanics
From Genesis to the Green Lantern, we humans have learned all of our moral values from the stories we tell to one another. In this brand-new series, host Bill Whittle will be having in-depth discussions with the mechanics that build our stories, as well as discussing the mechanics of how a good story is built. Confirmed so far are Jon Voight, Gary Sinise, Mike Rowe, Tom Dreesen, Adam Baldwin, Burt Rutan, Dick Rutan and Kelly Carlson, with more to follow.
