Episode 150: Today’s story comes from one of our favorite humans, Stephen Brackett. He’s the emcee Brer Rabbit of the Denver hip-hop group the Flobots, co-founder of Youth on Record and, in our opinion, an all-around great guy. This story was recorded live on 18 October 2017 at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado. The theme of the evening was “In the Dark.”

Behold! The Narrators’ 2018 Themes
We here at The Narrators Brain Trust are pleased as punch to announce our storytelling themes for 2018. Every year we come together—with long lists of suggestions from our storytellers, scrawled handwritten bursts of inspiration from longtime audience members, growing heaps of past year runner-up themes—and attempt to whittle down to a list of themes that we think might make for some compelling interpretations from our storytellers.
We are always surprised by what our storytellers come up with, how well our choices create shows with a variety of unexpected interpretations—or how common threads emerge. This next year will see the celebration of our 8th anniversary and we have some exciting special events and announcements in the works. As always, if you see something on this list that really tickles your storytelling fancy and you want to reach out now about sharing your story, please contact us.
