Metaphors, Analogies, and Stories (AKA Feral Hogs)
41 minutes
On this week’s episode of The Freenoter, we talk about examples, metaphors, analogies, and an introduction to stories—all of the rhetorical devices we use to explain our points. We also look at the work of Kindra Hall and the research she has done on stories. Finally, we enjoy a Vesper—the only cocktail James Bond himself ever invented.

The Vesper, as invented by James Bond in Casino Royale:
3 ounces gin (Gordons)
1 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce dry vermouth (Lillet Blanc)
Garnish: lemon peel
Stir over ice and strain into a martini glass. Stir as long as you would wash your hands of COVID-19. Maybe longer.
