  • Episode 63: Brush With Fame: Bonne Summers, "Dinner With The Duke"

    If you were asked to conjure up the most American meal possible, you might dream up a Thanksgiving Dinner shared with silver screen cowboy John Wayne. Storyteller Bonne Summers actually shared a Thanksgiving with Wayne, during an idyllic American holiday that she recounted live onstage at our June 2015 live event, "Brush With Fame."

  • The Skin I'm In: Anwar Fikri, "The F-N-G"
    Doesn’t it seem like the harder you try to impress others, the less likely it is that things will go as planned? Anwar Fikri’s story of awkwardness, allergies and Airmen elicited many sympathetic groans - and lots of laughs - during our August 2017 live event, “The Skin I’m In.” He joined us during while serving at Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City.

  • The Skin I'm In: Roxann Johnson, "Midnight and Sunshine"
    Through her work as a diversity consultant, Roxann Johnson helps people have difficult conversations. Through her activism and leadership, she has become a recognized leader of Shreveport’s efforts toward racial reconciliation. Every community could use more voices like hers: strong, empathetic, humane, and wise. When she took the All Y’all stage, Roxann shared a disarmingly personal triptych of lessons from the life of an African American mom in the Deep South.

  • Wildcard: Charnae McDonald, "We Met Online"
    Sometimes, we get the impression that folks are embarrassed to say “we met online” when they’re unspooling the backstory of their love affair. As if “online” means anything at all, really, in the age of Fitbit and Alexa. The average person has no reason to be embarrassed about having met their boo through an app or dating site. That’s just how we meet one another these days.
    But Charnae McDonald’s story, a modern love story filled with catfishing and coincidences, isn’t exactly average.             
    A note about "Wildcard" stories
    Wildcard stories like Charnae's are told by storytellers who have no advanced warning that they are about to be called onstage to tell a story. The only opportunity to prepare that is given to these storytellers is the time that it takes for them to walk to the stage.

  • Let's Eat: Anthony Catfish Woodward, "The Boy Who Cried Hollandaise"
    As far as nicknames go, “Catfish” is as good a nickname as any for a young, Southern fellow with charm to spare. Anthony “Catfish” Woodward was the first storyteller to take the stage at Red River Brewing Company during our fifth annual Fidnto Award fundraiser event in 2018. Like the late, great Anthony Bourdain, ‘Fish was once a line cook on the most fearsome of all kitchen shifts: the Mother’s Day brunch.
