Something to Listen To

With the times being as turbulent and change as they are at the moment, many people have a bit of anxiety. My anxiety? Going 2-4 weeks without attending a Storytelling Show.

Podcast Post: Hidden Brain

Why people think the way they think has always fascinated me. There was a time when I would read every page of research I could to learn more about How people think.

Easy Listening

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. And then I looked at my list of storytelling podcast that I listen to. That's 12 post not including the podcast other storytellers have told me about. But you need … Continue reading Easy Listening
