For six years, Story Shuffle was a regularly organized, live recording of themed stories. Now the best of these stories are being rereleased as a weekly podcast. From 4-5pm Sunday, July 23, 2017, we'll record live to close the podcast. Join us.
Annette John Hall, Christopher Wink, Michaela Winberg and Juliana Reyes at the fifth annual Philadelphia Podcast Festival.
Today we close out the final episode of the weekly Story Shuffle podcast, a special one-hour, live-recording at the fifth annual Philadelphia Podcast Festival. Fittingly enough, we’re going out with the theme of Closure, featuring two of our favorite storytellers: reporter and columnist Annette John-Hall, fresh off her ‘Cosby Unraveled’ podcast, and writer and journalist Juliana Reyes. Joined by hosts Christopher Wink and Michaela Winberg, all share their stories in front of a live studio audience.
For the last six months, you’ve been hearing the Story Shuffle theme song, as produced by Tony Abraham, credited in each episode’s close. Now hear the full song, which was first produced in 2011, and hear the story behind the song.
For those of you in Philadelphia on Sunday, July 23 (4-5pm), you can join us to hear the final recording of the weekly Story Shuffle podcast. We’ll be part of the fifth annual Philly Podcast Festival.
We’ll be at Kitchen Table Gallery in Kensington, 1853 North Howard Street. RSVP on Facebook here.
We all have an instinct to do some vengeful things. On this episode of Story Shuffle, our storytellers share about the times they experienced revenge. First, Lindsey McNeil tells us about when she found revenge on Mischief Night. Then, Brady Dale will tell the story of the time he was hit by a car — and he probably deserved it.
Lessons come fast and cheap in childhood. We have two tales of Growing Up in this episode of Story Shuffle, the weekly, first-draft storytelling podcast. First hear storyteller and columnist R. Eric Thomas talk about snitching as a kid. Then hear social services worker and writer Patrick McNeil remember a passed loved one.
Most times we go with our gut. On the ninth episode of Story Shuffle, the weekly first-draft storytelling podcast, we hear two stories of people doing just that, experiencing First Impressions. First we have author and literary agent Eric Smith remembering the first day he moved to Philadelphia — and the cultural differences between there and New Jersey. Next, journalist Daniel Victor shares his first look at a conference of pickup artists — yes, pickup artists.
The 36th Story Shuffle was held Saturday, Oct. 29, 2016 in Fishtown, Philadelphia with the theme of MASKS as part of an eery and oh so fun Halloween party.
Given the ghoulish nature, only a handful of storytellers chose to have their stories recorded. Find all the recorded audio here or choose from below.
In lieu of an independent Story Shuffle this month, I encouraged friends to join this month’s “Tell Me a Story” a monthly curated storytelling event organized by Hillary Rea. The theme was Offline. I told a hitchhiking story, tightened from a version I told at a past Story Shuffle in 2011. So this was the second time I told it. Find it below.
