At the end, members of the audience took the stage to share

The theme of the evening was "Punk's Not Dead?" The stage was just the corner of a little concrete-walled room with streamers on the walls. It was part dungeon, part homecoming dance. The audience was tiny compared to our regular monthly shows. The acoustics—as you'll hear in a minute—were terrible for recording. The

Episode 108: We here at The Narrators talk a lot about the role of empathy in the show's success. The Narrators is, at its core, a community building enterprise, and one that is built on the premise of people wanting to connect to each other. The simple act of sharing stories allows that.

Episode 105: When The Narrators first started in Denver over six and a half years ago, storytelling shows were few and far between.
