Podcast Post: The Story Collider
I love science. Understanding how things work has always been super cool to me. I now love storytelling. Explaining how things work in an engaging, interesting way is just one of the reasons that I use story the way that I do.

It's an awesome journey into the unspoken stories people have in their … Continue reading Storytelling Podcast: Family Ghost

There is way more to write about than I first realized. I still have a back log of post to do for interviewing local storytellers.

Have You Heard One Of My Stories?
