Easier Said is a podcast bringing you conversations about storytelling by looking at the intersection of the entertainment and the humanities. Join as we get lost going down rabbit holes with way too much time on our hands and too much thought put into this - or maybe not enough. Regardless, we break down the study, the nature, and the joy of narrative as only we can!
Easier Said is the flagship podcast for Conceit Media.

The Future Of New Media Storytelling With Eric R. Williams
Exciting news: Easier Said is evolving! In one of our first interview episodes, we talk to an expert on new media storytelling. Eric R. Williams studies the spectrum of new storytelling forms that runs from virtual reality to mixed media. He is a professor of Emerging Communication Technologies at Ohio University. He teaches in their brand new Virtual Reality and Game Design major at the undergraduate level (which starts in Fall of 2022). Today, we discuss the changes of storytelling, and we look at how it impacts us and the industries producing it.
Food-for-thought: Is VR a gateway to an “Amish Paradise”?

Cinematic History, Trends, and Dynamics
Not just movies but TV as well is up for grabs in an episode that is sure to provoke thought, if not fury. The gang ambles around a bit with the vast, encyclopedic wealth of knowledge in the world these days, but ultimately gets back on track with a discussion of techniques, ideas, and innovations in the history of visual media. Included in this is film, TV, and video games, and the worlds they explore and the genres they do it through. Are Seinfeld and My Name Is Earl two halves of the same coin? What is the beauty of Bioshock, and is Fallout's music uninspired and unrealistic? Should we clone John Lithgow? Is Shrek about the freedom of man before the institution of government? Will our grandkids be cyborgs? Can movies be both meaningful and entertaining?
These are the questions we answer authoritatively and conclusively in the latest episode of the Easier Said podcast.
Host-notes: A goose only has violence in its heart, and man-flesh in its mouth.
Food-for-thought: What are you putting in your soup? Hopefully not rocks, right?

Auteurs vs. Collaborators: How does the process affect movies and books?
Director's cuts.
Various versions of Justice League.
Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, the Coen Brothers.
How does the sausage get made? The process of making art is different in both film and literature, of course, but how does the end process turn out differently between one person's singular vision vs. a creation that can be broken down into various contributions? Both involve writers, editors, and creators working together for the purposes of achieving the end goal. Is there a superior route between the two? How is theme and consistency affected?
And a more important question:
Are you contributing to our puppet fund?
