A Podcast about Stories
Story All The Way Down is a podcast about stories using astrology to analyze them. Kent Bye and Wonder Bright connect the dots between personal and collective tales to explore what it means to be human and how we might get better at it, one story at a time.
Astrology as a Narrative Theory
People have used astrology for thousands of years to make sense of the world and their place in it. Three millennia of history has produced a robust framework for describing the characters, qualities, and contexts of human experience. Privately Kent and Wonder have long debated about how it might work as a tool to understand films, books, and television. This podcast is their attempt to answer that question.
