Well, we are still here in this crazy mixed-up world. Covid is proving to be just like Microsoft software; either have it, or you know someone that does. In both cases, the version of what people have varies from person to person.

No matter, In the storytelling world, storytellers and storytelling groups have adapted to being physically separated by connecting on the internet more. Here starts the beginning of me updating my “Connecting Storytellers and Storylisteners” series from the last few years. You don’t have to be a storyteller in the official sense. Anyone can and should take advantage of this and upcoming lists I plan to post. The idea is to give people a starting point to connect with storytellers and the stories they tell.

To start the series, I’ll be listing Facebook groups. The list below varies from ones that just advertise shows, ones that take a deep dive into performing stories, or ones that are just fun places to hear storytelling.

Just to show how many new Facebook groups I have come across, I broke up the list between the ones I knew before the Pandemic, the ones I found after the Pandemic started, and the ones I found just last year. I know now. WOW! Be sure to click on the like and check out the about section to see which groups are the right ones for you. In case you are wondering, yes, I’m a member of all the ones listed below. Go find a place to connect to stories on purpose.

After years of being an instructor in the military and the and the fire service, I realized I needed to improve my delivery. My students needed me to improve delivery. But how do I improve my delivery? Simple. I finally took a member of Toastmasters up on the invitation to come to a meeting. It wasn't long until I joined. Along the way of improving my skills at delivering a message, I came to understand that of all the ways to get a point across, telling stories is the best way to get it done. Around this time, another friend from Toastmasters told me about The Moth monthly story telling shows. What better way to test out my theories on storytelling. It's in my travels there to the shows that I found more and more shows, and classes, and events centered around storytelling. Despite how many people know about the storytelling world, not many people know about the storytelling world. So now, I'm out to tell the world about storytelling.
