Audio Storytelling Assignment Kelsey Schmitt

Podcast : ARMCHAIR with Dax Shepard 

Season 1 / Episode 1 : Kristin Bell 

https://podtail.com/en/podcast/armchair-expert-with-dax-shepard/kristen-bell/


Context - Dax Shepard has recently come out with his own podcast featuring his close friends and family, using his decade of sobriety, degree in anthropology and years of improv training to become an "armchair expert" about the human condition. This podcast is distributed through Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play and through Podtail.com every two weeks. 

Context - In this episode Dax interviews his wife Kristin Bell. The two discuss what makes their marriage work and Dax reveals his first impressions of Kristen when they started dating. Kristen explains her life philosophy and how it dictates her every decision. The two of them question their impact on social media and the miss representation they feel its imposes on their famously assumed "perfect marriage". 

Form - The structure of this story is slightly sporadic since Dax and Kristin frequently interject in between each others stories of their life together, but for the most part follows the sequence of chronological order from when the two met and their early years as actors to present day. This podcast includes personal stories that one would not know other wise about these two actors, as well as memories and the individual struggles they have gone through in life, adding to the intimacy of this podcast. It includes very few sound edits, so the listener can hear both Dax and Kristin's first hand uncensored responses to each other including profanity, laughing and the in between sounds the two make while talking with one another in conversation, such as sighs and sometimes obvious disagreement. This podcast relies on its genuine and raw form in order to entice listeners to this 
"real talk" style audio storytelling.
