Tuning into the Warren Etheredge Channel

With all the news about C.R. Douglas leaving the Seattle Channel, it’s worth mentioning that his colleague in Seattle-based emceeing and interviewing, Warren Etheredge, has a talk-show channel set up on Vimeo.

Called The High Bar (it’s shot at Capitol Hill’s Chapel Bar in the off-hours), it features Warren talking often with film actors and directors (Jodie Foster, Morgan Spurlock, Duncan Jones), but also with social media maven Monica Guzmàn Preston. In his latest outing, Etheredge talks with story guru Brian McDonald about…okay, you guessed it, story. But also: why games aren’t stories, per se; what McDonald means by “masculine” and “feminine” storytelling modes; and what makes a Hollywood movie taste like a Twinkie.

The bar looks nice, but Warren needs to put the flask down. Who brings a flask to a bar, anyway?
