About

A premise is what forms the basis of a theory or a plot. We talk to storytellers from all disciplines and get down to the story behind the storyteller—the passion and joy and creativity behind their stories. Our premise is that listening to others helps us build greater empathy and a stronger sense of humanity—storytelling is powerful stuff. By just listening, we can make the world a better place. We invite you to listen, subscribe and comment.

Lilli Kendle is our fabulous copywriter! She started writing in her teen years, mostly poetry, then eventually short stories. She’s been a life-long avid reader and excelled in academic writing, yet it never occurred to her to major in English until she realized she was never going to pass Statistics and get that Psychology degree. Today Lilli is happily doing freelance copy and content writing, creating content strategies, and boosting brands through social media campaigns. She’s the Content Strategist for Monkey C Media and the Copywriter for The Premise Podcast. Her favorite parts of her work, besides the writing, are keeping up on the latest trends in marketing culture, doing research, and brainstorming, in no particular order.
