All of the stories shared at The Narrators are true, or at least they’re supposed to be true, so it’s rare for one of our storytellers to reveal when they are lying. Today’s story, however, is almost entirely about lying—in this case, to total strangers. Greg Salvesen is an astronomer, ultra-distance runner, and a long-time friend of the show. His story was recorded live on 20 July 2016 at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado. The theme of the evening was “Pop!”

Thanks to everyone who attended our all-comedian special at High Plains Comedy Festival—we were honored to be part of the fest. You have two chances to catch one of our live shows this month: 13 September at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern in San Diego and 21 September at Buntport Theater in Denver. The theme will be “Change of Heart,” both shows start at 8pm, and both shows are totally free. Hope to see you there!
