The Narrators ·

2016/09/07

Episode 103: All of the stories shared at The Narrators are true, or at least they're supposed to be true, so it's rare for one of our storytellers to reveal when they are lying. Today's story, however, is almost entirely about lying—in this case, to total strangers. Greg Salvesen is an astronomer, ultra-distance runner, and a long-time friend of the show. His story was recorded live on 20 July 2016 at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado. The theme of the evening was "Pop!" If you haven't already,

Episode 93: We always struggle choosing which stories to share on the podcast, since we cannot post them all. But we found these two stories to be so complimentary, that we decided to play them together. These stories, told on the theme "DIY or Die", reveal the inner lives of two unique women doing something they are afraid of. They embody the punk rock ethos of do it yourself, but with the unspoken caveat, never alone. I was struck by their courage and their vulnerability. I hope you are too. These

Episode 90: We have a very different kind of story this week, brought to us from our good friend, Michael King, Denver designer, musician and art director for Birdy magazine. A few years ago, Michael King bought an answering machine at a thrift store here in Denver. Inside that machine was a tape. What you're about to hear is part of that tape.

Over the years, we've heard lots of holiday stories at The Narrators, even when they're out of season, because life just seems more significant during special events.
