The Delivery Presents – Storytelling is Life, and So is Bacon Posted: 04 Dec 2012 12:37 PM PST It’s not every week I can have two people on the show who are quite as accomplished and forthcoming with great advice as I did in Episode 168. Kristina Ribali, the social media Queen of FreedomWorks, and Jim Lakely, the communications director of the Heartland Institute spent the hour talking about the importance of stories. We humans have always used stories to carry important information, everything from “don’t wander into the dangerous woods” to “don’t screw over your neighbor because it’s bad for all of us”. Somehow, though, conservatives have come to regard good storytelling as a frivolous pursuit, a thing only the artsy-fartsy left does. It’s cost us and the country dearly. We have to do better and that is the point from which we launch the conversation. Then we move into the importance of bacon, which can never be overstated. So there’s that. This is one of the best shows I’ve done in a while. if I had a highlight reel, most of this show would be on it.

The Delivery Presents – The Same Old Bias Posted: 04 Dec 2012 09:24 AM PST I have quite a bit of catching up to do on these show posts. Time and tight schedules get us all from time to time and, well, I got gotten good. Episode 167 has a few nifty little riffs, if I do say so myself, on the subject of media bias and how it played out in the early reporting about the Benghazi murders. I think it’s interesting to look back at what happened then and compare it to where the story is now. Hasn’t moved much, has it? That’s by design. I dropped a few recommendations for books you might like and Netflix fare you might find interesting in the second half. I think I’ll revisit Netflix in the near future, as I’m discouraged by the paucity of content compared to what I expect from a streaming platform these days. I lay much blame on Hollywood, which can’t seem to figure out that pennies per view on 60+ years of content is worth a whole lot more than, well, nothing. Also, there’s still no hockey.
