I’ll just sit back here and let Ira do his thing. Sure, he’s talking about radio and broadcast stories, but it’s all relevant. Check out parts II, III and IV if you like this. Some quotes that I particularly like from part II to whet your appetite:
“It’s time to kill, and to enjoy the killing.”
“Not enough gets said about the importance of abandoning crap.”
