1.2 "Dining Disasters" StorySlamSeason I recorded live at Kennedy's Midtown MA on November 20th, 2010. Features stories by Lani Peterson, Nicolette Heavey, Danielle Schulman and more.
Each month people crowded into venues all over the city to hear ten tellers, who were chosen at random tell their true 5 minute story on the night’s theme. At each event, more than half of the audience was introduced to story slams and storytelling. It’s clear that our high-tech society is ripe for some low-tech action. And the essentially human experience of storytelling is fitting the bill.

All works by masssmouth storytellers. Some are writers, some are storytellers, some are comics, some are improv comedians and for some this is their first literary or performing arts experience. All are real people telling their stories.

Norah Dooley and Josh Fine transferred and converted audio files from our video collection to create these podcasts. There is some uneven quality and not all issues that occurred in the taping could be resolved in post production. Sorry. Josh Fine and I worked as "audio engineers" supported with technical assistance from Harrison Swyter.
