Story Mastermind John Yorke on the Art of Narrative

We’re back! Today we’re speaking to John Yorke, former Head of Drama at Channel 4 and BBC Controller of Drama Series, founder of the BBC Writers’ Academy, and author of the bestselling Into the Woods.

We explore the deep mechanics of story, the comfort and power it gives us, and even its role in politics, showing why storytelling isn’t just entertainment, but a fundamental part of being human.
