This episode—[First, Tell Them An Anecdote](https://beta.prx.org/stories/309397)—from _How Sound_, delivered _two_ things for me. First the idea of why one might want to start every episode with an anecdote… but half-way through I realized I was thinking deeply about overarching arc— arc across all of my episodes… **What’s the big arc across all your episodes?** …yes, yes, “my presence” it one obvious answer. But what specifically about you? ɕ ---

I think it relates to what Jay Acunzo calls your premise. What is the thing you are doing with the podcast? Exploring, posing a question, answering a question? Your why. For me it is about encouraging confident and fulfilled owners of happy and healthy alpacas. My overarching arc is probably - what do you notice, what does it mean and what do you do now - all seen through the prism of alpacas. ![IMG_2575](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/podcaster1/original/2X/1/10764d89e61d6846b2c14d0002edd6928f8206bb.jpeg)
