A short podcast excerpt advising spokespeople to use storytelling and entertaining anecdotes during interviews. The speaker (SPEAKER A) argues that anecdotes increase engagement from reporters/hosts/producers, make points more memorable, make the experience more fun, and raise the chance of being invited back.
