I&#8217;ve also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/planning\/5-writing-steps-that-produce-amazing-podcast-episodes\/\" data-lasso-id=\"16008\">provided some tips on how to organize your podcast<\/a> to help achieve that. When you want to tell a compelling story, it\u2019s essential you understand the structure of a story and how to apply it&nbsp;to your style. This will move you toward a more dynamic podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-beginning-middle-and-end\"><strong>The Beginning, Middle, and End<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are five parts to a story: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Although we normally hear these parts as they relate to fiction, they also apply to other types of storytelling, anecdotes, and narratives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First&nbsp;ensure your story has a beginning, middle, and end. I\u2019ve always thought it was silly to formally point out that a story must have a beginning, middle, and end. Of course it has a beginning, middle, and end! Any complete sentence has a beginning, middle, and end; however, when we look at this oversimplified adage a little more closely, it&#8217;s clear that it speaks to the elements of a story. A beginning, middle, and end is just an easy way to say a story needs&nbsp;exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and a resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><b>Beginning<\/b>: Exposition<br>\n<b>Middle<\/b>: Rising Action\/Climax\/Falling Action<br>\n<b>End<\/b>: Resolution<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-organize-structure\"><b>Organize &amp; Structure<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/planning\/5-writing-steps-that-produce-amazing-podcast-episodes\/\" data-lasso-id=\"16009\">prewriting process covered last time<\/a> can incorporate outlining your narrative. Don\u2019t worry. An outline does not have to be the formal, boring exercise you learned in grammar school or university composition. You don&#8217;t have to&nbsp;organize it into roman numerals with perfectly formatted, lettered indents and nested details, unless you just like making outlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An outline can be as simple as a list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Exposition<\/strong>: Introduce the story<\/li><li><strong>Rising Action<\/strong>: Build the tension<\/li><li><strong>Climax<\/strong>: The exciting bit<\/li><li><strong>Falling Action<\/strong>:&nbsp;Set up the resolution<\/li><li><strong>Resolution<\/strong>: End the story<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-embellish-then-stop\"><strong>Embellish, Then Stop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a few minutes and make a simple outline following this model to structure your narrative. Once the parts of your story are clear, stated in a straightforward way, you can embellish as much as the story requires. This is the trick for many: knowing when to stop. Always keep in mind your audience, for this is all for the benefit of them, first and foremost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dramatic-structure\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2015\/05\/book-419589_1280.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"1016\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1474 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/book-419589_1280-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"book-419589_1280\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\"><\/a><strong>Dramatic Structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These five steps are also known as dramatic structure. Once you decide your podcast&#8217;s&nbsp;topic or story, and you have outlined the beginning, middle, and end in a simple format, it\u2019s time to expand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Exposition<\/b>: Think of three points that further develop the introduction of your tale.\n<ol>\n<li>Backstory of events leading up to the story<\/li>\n<li>Important information on characters<\/li>\n<li>Setting the scene<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li><li><b>Rising Action:<\/b> Building interest and tension (conflict)\n<ol>\n<li>Interesting events or information to deepen interest<\/li>\n<li>The most important parts of the story<\/li>\n<li>Information that the climax is dependent upon<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li><li><b>Climax<\/b>: Turning point, often exciting or heartbreaking\n<ol>\n<li>Height of the conflict within the story<\/li>\n<li>Revealing a secret<\/li>\n<li>A twist in the plot<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li><li><b><b>Falling Action<\/b><\/b>\n<ol>\n<li>The conflict falls apart<\/li>\n<li>Last information or moment of suspense<\/li>\n<li>The direct result of the climax; setting up the resolution<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li><li><b><b>Resolution<\/b><\/b>\n<ol>\n<li>Tie up loose ends of the plot<\/li>\n<li>Information or closure to leave your audience feeling satisfied<\/li>\n<li>Looking to the future.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Use this example of expanding an outline to help develop your digital story into a smooth, captivating narrative. Even if you&#8217;re teaching a lesson or speaking about a specific topic, storytelling engages readers and keep them coming back for more. By giving your audience something they can relate to\u2013someone they can root for\u2013you\u2019re connecting with them on a very personal level, and that\u2019s when you\u2019ve made a devoted listener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-for-more\">Looking for&nbsp;More?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want even more digital storytelling goodness, check out the episode of Podcraft on the subject: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/podcraft-podcast\/storytelling-techniques-podcasting\/\" data-lasso-id=\"27417\">The Art of Podcast Storytelling with Dan Feld<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past few weeks, I\u2019ve talked about ways to make your podcast more interesting by engaging your audience with a narrative or a digital storytelling aspect.
