Episode description

On today's Science of Storytelling episode I'm chatting with Justin Celko, Senior Director, Branded Entertainment at LA Times Studio.

The world has changed a lot in the last six months, not only for the world at large, but for The Los Angeles Times. As we open up our discussions, Justin lets us in on how work has changed for him and what branded entertainment looks like going forward.
