Digging In the Dark w/ Kevin Allison

In this episode, we talk to writer, filmmaker & storyteller Aaron Wolfe. We talk about anxiety and the ways tellers harness it to raise the stakes of their narratives. Aaron's stories manifest fear and stress in relatable and hilarious ways that keep his audiences howling with laughter and cringing in their seats... until he makes them cry. Because he will.
Thanks to Story Collider for lending us audio of Aaron's story "Saving Hubble."
