Ira Glass (one of my favorite modern media storytellers) has a few short snippets up about creating good stories.  Good stuff.

Krista and hannah arrived last night, so now it’s on to vacation!  4th of July parade and fireworks today in the big city of Oshkosh, NE; then on to Denver and Scottsbluff for a while.

I enjoy listening to short podcasts (and long ones too) and one of my favorites is The Writer’s Almanac. A few weeks ago Keillor read a poem that (I think) describes the old me (some would say the current me). You can find it here.
