Episode 88: What's The Story? A Podcast for the Post-Truth Era

Episode Summary

In this episode, we bring Tech Bites engineer David Tatasciore out of the control room and into the studio to talk about his latest project, What's the Story? – a fictional comedy podcast about storytelling and journalism for the "post-truth era." Launched in January of 2017, it follows the story of Ray Elliott, who quits his job as a fact-checker in order to stop being a professional story ruiner and become a professional storyteller – because "stories are what move us, not facts." David and WTS? creator Bryan Farrell join us in studio to discuss the timeliness of making a fake radio news podcast and what the "post-truth era" means.
