We’re back after a brief hiatus for another instalment of our world famous Five in Five Series. This is where your hosts, Stefan and Paul, pick a theme and break that theme down into five topics across five short episodes. And to add one more five, we have exactly five minutes to make our cases.

For this series, we’ll be talking about what to do when you want to tell a story at a storytelling event. We think sharing stories is more important then ever and we want you to share yours! So, this series breaks down how to move from the desire to tell a story and actually get up in front of people to share it.

In this fifth episode, we deliver our pitch on why it is important to share stories.

Stories We Don’t Tell is celebrating our 10 year anniversary and to mark this, we have put together a special 10 part series. We picked ten people who have told stories with us, one person from each year, and interviewed them. We really do attract some incredibly interesting people and these interviews do not disappoint.

This is a companion piece to the previous episode in the feed. After Brianne interviewed Paul & Stefan about their 10 years of producing SWDT, we thought it would be good to include some of our stories. So, Paul picked his favourite story that Stefan has told, and Stefan picked his favourite story that Paul has told.

We went in wanting to know the interview subjects’ relationship to storytelling, why they chose SWDT, and hear about their experience performing at the event. But, those were really just a starting point and each interview took on its own life and really became a very insightful and revealing look into our storytellers and our event. So, for each episode, you’ll get an interview with a storyteller and their story that was recorded live at our event.

On this episode, the tables are turned and Paul & Stefan are interviewed by fellow SWDT founder, Brianne. We talked about the history of the event, side projects, Covid, and how things have evolved.
