Lately I have been on this kick, wanting to create a list of good story tellers of our time. Not sure how I would go about it other than brute force and ETL the web for content, may be use a semantic search browser such as ligit, not sure at this time, but what keeps coming back is the desire to document good story tellers. I plan on building this list out over a period of time, hopefully will get folks to contribute to it as well. We shall see.
1) Sir Ken Robinson on “Do Schools kill creativity”. (my all time favorite ted’s talk, if you can spare 18 min this is a must see: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/66 )
2) Larry Lessig and his 3 stories on IP, and how creativity is being strangled by the law (again at Teds: http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/187 )
3) Gary Ve (This guy is quite a story teller, I am not a wine drinker myself, but his style is pretty terrific: http://tv.winelibrary.com/)
4) Stephan Colbert – Quite a story teller, pretends to be a conservative while giving you the impression that he is a liberal
5) John Stewart – finds contradictions in story’s told by the same person (normally politicians) and elaborates on them.
6) Clarence. Please listen to this guy, he might be a the best one yet.
