A compilation of a podcast series Brian and I did for the Minnesota Fringe Festival, this episode looks at why we tell stories and how they can be elevated in a live performance.
These are stories of persistence: A single mother who is trying to get some help. Campaigners who don’t know when to quit. A fight against segregation. Cafeteria workers who are trying to get the attention of management. A student who won’t take no for an answer. A Senator who won’t say yes.
If you ask someone about their first car, they'll probably tell you a story. Cars can tell a family history, teach us to deal with adversity and embed themselves into our fondest memories.
100 people answer the question, "Going back as far as you can go, what is your very earliest memory?" The ages associated with memories range from being a baby to 12 years old.
