PREACHING ABOUT STORYTELLING
Look, I love telling stories. I love to do it on stage and if you’ve seen me, or the Hellbusters, you may agree that I’m okay at doing it. But do this: go to the Moth page above, and sign up for their free podcast. It’s really wonderful. I’ve gotten so much inspiration from listening to the stories and storytellers in this podcast. The deal is, it’s live, true storytelling without notes. From pros and average Joes. So you’ll hear the professional pickpocket tell his story. You’ll hear the guy whose dad one day decided to be a farmer and ended up with a cow in his house on Thanksgiving. You’ll hear about the guy who started his pizza place with mob help. You’ll hear from the NYPD cop who arrested a dentist for knocking over ATM machines. You’ll hear a great one about the college newspaperman who invents and embellishes a protester called “Pieman” and ends up… well, I don’t want to ruin the end of that one.
You’ll also hear from Garrison Keillor, doing a great story, and also from Bill Clinton’s press secretary and also from a New York Yankee batboy’s first day on the job… oh they’re all great. Invest some time and listen in. The Moth Podcast, neighbors. Get to it! :)
