Helen and Jon The Storyteller explore the fundamental role of storytelling in human evolution, its connection to social bonding, and how stories help us navigate uncertainty. They discuss the significance of local legends and folklore, the purpose of stories in conveying moral lessons and entertainment, and the living nature of stories that adapt over time. The conversation emphasises the importance of storytelling in modern contexts and its potential to enrich our understanding of the world.
Jon is a Brighton-based storyteller, folklorist and historian with a love for tales linking present, past and place. He is near completion of a PhD exploring storytelling as sensemaking and selfhood, and the role modern myths can play to inspire environmentalism in built environments.
