244: Brandon Patrick, “Contents Under Pressure”

Your next storyteller is comedian, musician, and podcaster Brandon Patrick. Brandon recently moved to Denver and this was his very first time performing at The Narrators. He shared this truly wild cautionary tale just last week, outdoors at Buntport Theater—the theme of the evening was “Partners.” A quick content warning here: If there are children in the room, you might want to send them away for a few minutes. Or maybe they should listen, so history doesn’t repeat itself? Either way, enjoy!

Special thanks to TIQ TOK for today’s outro music!

241: Sarita Field, “On the Shore of Magic Beach”

Over the last 11 years, we’ve had some truly fabulous storytellers swing into the orbit of our show, pour their hearts out on stage a few times, and then move on to the next stage of their life. Today’s episode features one of those folks—Sarita Field. Sarita now lives in Madiscon, Wisconsin, where she can still be found telling stories, but back in August 2017, Sarita joined us at The Narrators to talk about those folks who come into our lives for a brief period of time and end up lingering in our hearts forever. She told this story in front of a live audience at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado—the theme of the evening was “Crossing Over.”

Special thanks to the band Jobless for today’s outro music.
