Welcome to the York Story Slam podcast, where we feature select stories from our monthly open mic storytelling events in York, Pennsylvania.

On March 17, eight storytellers shared their stories with our audience at The Hangar, recently relocated to the Grotto Community Center in the heart of downtown York.

Our theme for our March story slam was GOOD LUCK/BAD LUCK. We heard stories about injuries that brought silver linings, good and bad surprises, and one about taking small children to the zoo on an interesting day.

In the end, our winner was Dave Smith, who shared the story of facing difficult odds as a person with historically bad luck.

Dave earned a spot in our Grand Slam in November. Our next story comes from Tony Crocamo, who shared his story about his father's disdain for gambling.

Our final story on this month’s podcast comes from Wendy Smith, who recalled a job interview experience from when she first moved to the area.

All the winners from this year’s open mic story slam events will return at the end of the season to compete for the title of Best Storyteller in York at our Grand Slam.

Updates on our events 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 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.
