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

On July 18, eleven storytellers shared their true stories with our audience at Archetype Pizza in downtown York.

We heard stories about riding in the car, riding bikes, delayed and missed flights, and stories about surgery and terminal illness.

Our winner was Kat Knapp, who told a story about spending the first summer of her 20s at Cedar Point amusement park.

Kat earned a spot in our Grand Slam in November. Our second story comes from Jim Goldsmith, who told us about a recent 500-mile charity ride on his beloved bike.

Our final story on this month’s podcast comes from Monee Myers. Monee shared about a health issue she faced during her senior year of college.

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 Twitter at @yorkstoryslam, as well as 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.
