This is probably stating the obvious, but Salt teaches students to tell stories. In the radio track, we use Jon Franklin’s definition of story. Franklin is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and he teaches at the University of Maryland. His definition of story goes something like this: A story is a sequence of events where a sympathetic character encounters a challenge and overcomes it.

During her semester at Salt, Natalie Jablonski wrestled a bit with part of that definition — sympathetic character. Her story about a sound healer features a woman with a very uncommon approach to healing, an approach a general audience may find incredibly odd and off-putting. On this Saltcast, Natalie offers a couple of thoughts on how to portray an unusual character as sympathetic.

Dig it.

    Natalie, I stumbled onto this after trying to locate you by calling the SALT Institute today. I really enjoyed listening to this and finding out how our work together was a learning experience for you. I would like to get in touch with you regarding a project I am working on, so if you read this, please get in touch with me, okay? It’s important!
