POLITICAL STORIES
(excerpts from posts)

Query: Has anybody out there designed a set of stories to reflect a social/political point of view? I know that some have, but don't have any particulars at my fingertips, as I read but don't save storytell posts. So whichever side of the political fence you sit on, how about it? What was your program? What point of view was it designed to support? How did it go over with your audiences?
