Ep. 5: ”Philia” with David Trumble.

And we're five by five! It's day vs night as Steve sits down with his own identical twin brother; artist and storyteller David Trumble. Over a snifter of whiskey, the Brothers Trumble draw upon nearly 33 years of living side by side to both interrogate and celebrate the turbulent bond that is brotherhood. In a lifetime-spanning, raucous and admirably candid chat, they ask each other questions they've never asked, shed light on memories halved, and mediate the trading of both comedic and literal blows. Should we all treat the rest of the world as our brother? Is your brother your best friend or your worst enemy, like in the stories? Does one brother being an extrovert turn the other into an introvert? And who in the hell is talking right now?

David is an award-winning cartoonist, author and illustrator. He started out doing political cartoons for one of the largest newspapers in the world and since has found his storytelling passion writing and illustrating children's books as well as working as a story artist for animated movies. He is also an accomplished public speaker, giving speeches (including two Tedx Talks) on storytelling, discovery and creativity.
