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

On March 18, nine storytellers shared their stories with our audience at The Hangar at New York Wire Works in downtown York.

The theme for our March story slam was NO HARD FEELINGS. We heard stories about getting tackled in football games, losing items from the lost & found at a Hollywood hostel, learning to let go, and even one story about Kevin Bacon (not that one).

In the end, our winner was Mark Lentz, who shared a story about reflecting on the resentments he carries.

Mark earned a spot in our Grand Slam in November. Our next story comes from Eric Zeltmann, who shared about playing tabletop games with his son, and the consequent lessons on losing and winning.

Our final story on this month’s podcast comes from Megan Hine, who tells the story of her pet pig, Kevin Bacon, and how she and her family were at odds on the best way to honor his memory.

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.
