Welcome to the York Story Slam podcast, where we feature select stories from our monthly open mic storytelling events in York, Pennsylvania.
On April 19, ten storytellers shared their stories with our audience for our virtual slam.
The theme for our April story slam was COURAGE. We heard stories about facing and overcoming fear, learning about courage by observing others, and conscientious objection.
In the end, our winner was first-time storyteller John Joyce, with his story about a childhood skirmish.
John earned a spot in our Grand Slam in November. Next up we have Melissa Snavely, with her story of what she learned about courage from the Wizard of Oz and her mother.
Our final story on this month’s podcast comes from David MacVeigh, who told a story about the time a friend saved his life, and the sense of obligation it left him with.
All the winners from this year’s open mic story slam events will return in November to compete for the title of Best Storyteller in York.
Updates on our upcoming events and tickets for purchase are available on our website, YorkStorySlam.com, and while you’re there, you can sign up for our monthly newsletter. You can also follow us on twitter at @yorkstoryslam, as well as on Facebook, and watch videos of all the stories from our events on our YouTube channel.
We hope to see you on stage soon! Thanks for listening.
