    102: Irene Bonner “Write It Down”

    Today’s story comes to you from Irene Bonner. Irene shared a story on the theme of “Ink” at Tiger! Tiger! Tavern in San Diego on June 14, 2016.

    We have a metric shit ton of exciting shows in the near future. Our regular Denver show is this Wednesday, August 17 at Buntport Theater.

    This Thursday, our San Diego enclave will be hosting their second special performance at the Museum of Man as part of their summer evening programming. The show is a kinda sorta Best of the San Diego Narrators as they approach their one-year anniversary on the best coast. The show starts at 7PM and is free with museum admission.

    On Saturday, August 27, at 5PM, The Narrators will be a part of the High Plains Comedy Festival, with an all-star lineup that is guaranteed to make you wet your pants. I GUARANTEE IT.

    We’ll be back next month in our usual haunts and our theme will be “Change of Heart.”

    101: The Best of the First 100, Part 2

    Well, we made it to 100 episodes of this lil’ podcast!

    To celebrate, we’ve asked the hosts of our Denver and San Diego shows to share some of their favorite stories. This week we’ll present the second part of our celebration, a couple of stories selected by Mary Robertson and Robert Rutherford, the co-hosts of The Narrators San Diego.

    Mary Robertson chose a story by Carmen Radley that she shared at our “Siblings” show in December 2015, and Robert Rutherford chose a story by Ellen K Graham that she shared at our “Two-Way Street” collaboration with Stratus Chamber Orchestra (formerly Musica Sacra Chamber Orchestra).

    Per Robert’s instructions, please check out this recording of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending AFTER listening to Ellen’s story. It’s worth your time, we promise.

    Thank you for continuing to support the podcast and for coming out in droves every month to our live shows. We are still so in love with the power of the community that this show has built and we look forward to sharing another 100 episodes with you.

  • 99: Calandra Rothrock, “Talking to God”

    99: Calandra Rothrock, “Talking to God”

    Today’s story comes to you from Calandra Rothrock. Calandra has been telling stories her whole life; ranging from angsty pre-teen poetry, to angsty college folk music, to less-angsty Shakespeare in the Park. Most Sundays she can be found soothing the beast of her theatrical calling by feeding it a steady diet of the laughter of preschoolers as she appears as Ms. Frizzle at the San Diego Natural History Museum. This story was recorded live at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern on 10 May 2016 when The Narrators took on the theme of “Tongues.”

    June is already breathing down our necks and our regular monthly shows are riding astride for the first month of summer, staring straight at you—first on 14 June in San Diego at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern and the very next day on 15 June in Denver at Buntport Theater. Both shows are free, both start at 8pm, and both will focus on the theme “Ink.”
