Storyteller's Collective - Series Debut
This series will be a showcase of Storytellers I've come
to admire and a spotlight on folks I've just discovered.
I hope you enjoy the selections and add your favorites.
@shadowspub brought us sad news today as The Vinyl Cafe Fades to Black - Stuart McLean Dead at 68. It was a few years ago when I first heard Mr. McLean on The Vinyl Cafe. The local NPR radio station would broadcast the show weekly and I happened to catch it when I was driving to a pet-sitting appointment. I'm still searching for the story I heard that night. Here's hoping it will pop up someday.
Until then, here's an excellent sample of Stuart McLean's magic...
Another radio favorite I've grown to enjoy is The Moth. They feature three or four Storytellers in each program. There is an overarching 'theme' to the stories, but the stories themselves can veer off in wildly different directions from one another. Twists I didn't see coming are the rule rather than the exception. I'm learning to stop anticipating and just listen. It's harder than you think!
For now, though, I'm going to pick a couple that I've especially enjoyed. I hope you enjoy them, too!
My Bald & Blue Period by John Grady After many years in the legendary Blue Man Group,

Upvote, ReSteem, 
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
That sounds simply amazing a project to be sharing storytellers with us. I look forward to hearing them and/or reading about them. Thanks you for sharing!
All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
Thank you for the encouragement. I'm taking the perspective that it's a treasure hunt. Who knows what gems will come to light. And, please, feel free to share anyone you think we'd appreciate. The more the merrier!

Good idea starting a series. Nice job Deb.
I have not been able to keep up with everyone I want to on here, I am sorry.
I know you understand though why. But still.
No apologies necessary! Drop in when you can and no worries if you can't. Taking care of yourself is job one right now, so focusing on that makes sense.
TY for being a good friend.
