In-story recaps are a great way to bring other characters up to speed on what has transpired earlier in the adventure campaign. Rather than just have the players say something like, "We tell the king what happened during our expedition to the goblin caves," make them actually tell the story.

Besides being fun and good roleplaying, it's always hilarious hearing their version of events as told to the king, when all of you know what really happened.
