    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.”

    98: Steph Gustafson, “Please don’t tell mom”

    In honor of Mother’s Day and “Tongues,” our theme for May, today we’re sharing a story that features fifth-grade frenching, sibling blackmail, and one super smart mom. This story was told by Steph Gustafson on 16 December 2015 at Buntport Theater in Denver Colorado; the theme of that evening was “Siblings.”

    Our regular monthly shows are just around the corner—first on 10 May in San Diego at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern and then on 18 May in Denver at Buntport Theater. Both shows are free, both start at 8pm, and both will focus on the theme “Tongues.”

    In Denver, we are teaming up with the Forum Stories and the Misunderstood podcast on 14 May for a special evening entitled Totally Normal, where The Narrators favorites like Timmi Lasley and Debbie Scheer will share stories about the humanity, humor and totally ordinary world of mental health. Hope to see you there!

    97: Blair Overstreet, “Anything to Impress”

    This week’s story comes to you from Blair Overstreet. Blair is a writer and educator, and produces shows for our friends at So Say We All, a juggernaut of the San Diego storytelling/literary community. Blair’s story was recorded live on 8 March at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern in San Diego, California and the theme for the evening was “OUCH!” Blair’s story may evince some wincing, as it was perfectly aligned with the theme.
