Episode Summary:

A novel or a prophecy? That's what many are left wondering after reading George Orwell's 1949 dystopian social science novel, 1984. Centered around the dangers of totalitarianism and mass surveillance, Orwell managed to get more than a few things frighteningly correct. This weeks guest, Allyson Scammell, share's not only her connection to the story and a near death experience that cause her to completely transform her life, but throws down her theory about this classic novel and where it really came from.

Heard this great interview between Heather Cox Richardson and Rebecca Solnit, on her book "Orwell's Roses" and remembered this Story Mischief conversation. Thought this was an interesting addendum to your interview, and something Allyson might be interested in: https://www.facebook.com/rebecca.solnit/videos/3203517459932139/

Story Mischief Podcast

About The Show:

Stories are mischievous little buggers that have been shaping our personal and cultural identities for over ten thousand years. On this podcast, we take a careful look at just how that is. Why? Because while some stories have the ability to lift us up, transform and make us feel whole, others have the ability to divide, mislead and keep us playing small - and who’s got time for that non-sense?

Success isn't a logical pursuit.

It's a mytho-logical quest!

Few things are more frustrating than feeling stuck after working hard to logic your way forward. Using a mytho-logical approach, I’ll help you define, craft, and tell the story of who you really are and what you have to offer the world so you can create the success you’re looking for.
