On this one-off episode, Stefan tricks Paul into talking about sports. More importantly, they wanted to introduce a special project they have been working on over the summer hiatus. September 2019 is the fifth anniversary of the Stories We Don’t Tell and to mark this occasion, they put together a book of 61 stories that have been performed at the event over the years.

In addition to sports, Paul and Stefan go through the process of working with all the contributors, designing the book, and what it took to pull it all together. The official book launch will be held in Toronto on Thursday, October 17th, and you can purchase tickets here.
