    Episode 13 of The Narrators Podcast features stories from playwright Ellen K. Graham and comedian Chris Charpentier. The stories were recorded on January 17, 2013 at our beloved Deer Pile in Denver, Colorado.  The theme for the night was “Adults Only,” but it was thankfully not as raunchy as you might expect.  It’s still a good idea to shield your nana’s ears if you play this while having an afternoon tea.  Check out the buttons at the top of the page here to see all the different ways of subscribing to the podcast.  You can find it on iTunes, on Stitcher, or through  myriad RSS feeds.

    The intro and outro music was produced and graciously provided by Sans Seruf, and you can find more slick beats for your earholes over at his bandcamp page.

    Thanks for listening.  Our live show for February is on the 21st (8pm at Deer Pile), and we are partnering with Greater Than Collective to present an evening of stories based on the theme of “Record Stores and Rock Shows.”  It’s gonna be a good’un.

    Episode 12 of The Narrators Podcast features stories from political writer Colleen Leggett and zine magnate Kelly Shortandqueer.  These stories were recorded on January 17, 2013 at The Deer Pile in Denver, Colorado.  The theme for the night was “Adults Only”, so it’s probably best if you don’t play this in front of a group of pre-school children, if you know what’s best for ’em.

    HOST JOWLSWell, it took us awhile, but Andrew and I are pleased as princesses to bring you our re-vamped podcast and a fancy new website where it will be hosted.  We’ve got some as-of-yet-unheard podcasts for your perusal and listening pleasure, plus all of the archived episodes from Andrew’s time in the solo podcasting mines.  Of particular interest are the five episodes from October, November, and December that feature some really amazing storytelling from our new home at The Deer Pile.

    Now that we’ve got your eyeballs for a minute or two, a couple of notes about the new podcast:

    • We plan on putting out two podcasts a month.
    • Each podcast will feature two stories taken from the live show.
    • Each podcast will be between 10 and 25 minutes long, because there is no such thing as a podcast that is too short, unless that podcast belongs to Too Short.  That would be a Too Short podcast.
    • You can subscribe to this blog via RSS feed and listen to the podcasts here, and soon you will be able to find them on iTunes or through the Stitcher app.
    • If you like the stories you hear, please support our storytellers by checking out their work at the links we’ll provide ya.

    We have soooo much more to come.

    AND!  Don’t forget to see The Narrators live and in the flesh, inside the gently gurgling creative belly that is The Deer Pile, above City O’ City in Denver, Colorado, on the third Thursday of every month. Our next show is January 17th (like, this Thursday, Scooby.  ZOINKS!), and our theme for the night is “Adults Only.” (Note from the future: As of April 2014, The Narrators now happens every third Wednesday at Buntport Theater.)

    Thanks for listening!
