I am consistently on the lookout for ways to improve. A number of the storytelling podcasts I have recommended so far are more about enjoying a story, learning about a topic, or sharing a particular view. The Speak Up podcast helps me to meet a different need: getting better at telling stories. Matthew and Elysha … Continue reading Podcast Post: Speak Up
Podcast Post: Expressing Motherhood
There is a whole lot to being a mother. Sure, dads have their share of stuff to deal with. Hearing stories about the ups and downs of being a mother helps me to see a world I don't live in.

Oct Storytelling Shows
Of the many reasons to tell a story, scaring the daylights out of a person probably makes the 10 list. It makes sense, then, that a number of the shows this month happen to have that theme. Then there are shows like All The Feels, The Good Girl Chronicles, and Health's Angles that are advocating … Continue reading Oct Storytelling Shows
Podcast Post: Hidden Brain

In her pink outfit with her hair pulled back into an afro puff, she bends and twist in ways that would have me in the hospital for sure. It's a small moment, yet it's … Continue reading Podcast Post: Story Corps

Considering that my hectic schedule has afforded … Continue reading Podcast Post: Story District

Podcast Post: The Report
Watching the presiding of political trials rarely catches my interest. I wait for the highlights on the news, probably like most people. The downside to this is that the highlights may not have info in there that is important to me. Information that would change how I think about a person or issue. Too bad … Continue reading Podcast Post: The Report
