“People are hungry for stories. It’s part of our very being. Storytelling is a form of history, of immortality too. It goes from one generation to another.”

EPISODE #5: First Encounters

Storytellers: Bessie Cherry, Peter Greenwood, Andrew Greenwood, and Sam White. Our fifth Storycast is a record of our very first Storyshare Saturday Night in Madison at the Project Lodge. Billed as the “Cancer Stories...Benefit,” WSP was blessed with lots of great music from our friends Sound of Survival, and fantastic stories.  We’ve picked the most Storycast-friendly stories of the night and smashed them all up into this Storycast for your listening pleasure. This Storycast also marks our first non-cancer episode, though one of our storytellers shares one of the more interesting side effects of his cancer experience. We hope to see you at our next Storyshare Saturday Night (hint: it’ll be on February 27th at the Project Lodge on East Johnson and the theme will be Lost & Found).
