Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin · Angus Fletcher · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

Talked to actors.

I understood that they understood Shakespeare, but I didn't understand it.

And then eventually I got my first job was at Stanford and I got connected to Pixar.

I've noticed myself like these are people who not only understand story, but they understand how to create new stories.

And that started to fascinate me because what I started to realize is if you can create new stories on command, you can change everything because a story is the future.

Create a new story of tomorrow, tomorrow changes.

And so I wanted to go in there and actually just hang out with the folks at Pixar and understand how they were creating these new stories.

And when I went in there,

I discovered they had a method.

And they were very open about their method.

And they explained their method exactly to me.

And I realized that that was exactly the method that Shakespeare must have used.

And that was the moment where I started to understand stories for the first time.

Tell me how stories connect us.

Every story is an opportunity for us to create a story together.

That's really what it is.

And for a story to work between the two of us, I always have to be listening to you to be ensuring that you're on board with the story.

And I also have to be open to you to engage with the story and take it to the next place.

And that's why theater...

is the kind of primary origin for storytelling.
