Rather than noting what is in this World Storytelling Day episode, I'll note what is regrettably missing.

* Not much personal storytelling, despite a commitment to return to nostalgia a few weeks ago.

* Repeating some material from Inappropriate Conversations #50 about Lilo & Stitch.

* Insufficient callout to the band The Peddlers for the theme song to The Lost Continent.

* Planned but forgot to connect the "sound" of Dana Gillespie to Candye Kane.

* Missed an opportunity to feature at least a clip from the blues singing of the Different Drummer.

* Perhaps even fell short on fully noting the impact of an actress and costume designer on me at a young age.

Despite missing some elements, the "monsters and dragons" topic for storytellers this March 20 brought out my memories of good monsters, both literally and ironically.

So-called "mountaintop experiences" are often called "beyond description" by those who are careful about sharing religious experiences. I know. I am one of those people, with podcast episodes like this one being an exception. With a connection to the team building concepts in the previous show on spiritual development, let's go behind the scenes -- metaphorically around the campfire -- at a spiritual retreat or two.
