For six years, Story Shuffle was a regularly organized, live recording of themed stories. In 2017, we closed the project with a podcast. The project is done; Enjoy our archives!

Reading Eagle stringer Chris Reber recalls just how much he loved the 1995 Tom Hanks movie retelling of the Apollo 13 space mission. …It involved a fourth grade production.
Three fourths of West Philly folk rock band Flat Mary Road — Steve Teare, Alex Irwin, Chris Reber with some kicking backing toy electronic keyboard from Dan Papa –Â landed in the story tent for an exclusive acoustic set.
First, the group performed ‘Waltz your problem?’ in the dimly lit blanket fort on the third floor of a West Philly rowhome.

Tomorrow, we kick off sharing Saturday’s Story Shuffle 5 items from West Philly with the ‘I Love’ theme.
We just thought you should know that it all happened in an impressively involved blanket fort set up by photographer and farmer Rachel Playe. It also featured some live acoustic music from our friends Flat Mary Road.
