    28: DIIIIICKS!! Part 2

    The theme for our September show was “DIIIIICKS!”, a hard-hitting foray into the world of abbreviated richards. Part 2 of the show features true stories from writer and epicurean Leah Charney and zine magnate Kelly Shortandqueer. These stories were recorded at The Deer Pile on September 19th, 2013 by our good friends at The Denver Diatribe.

    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.

    Our next show is coming up on October 17th and the theme will be “Two Sides to Every Story.”  This show is going to be a fun experiment.  We’ll be inviting storytelling pairs to each give their version of the same story. We’ll be posting details about our great lineup early next week.

    AND!!!  The Narrators is working with the Denver Music Summit on a Very Special Episode that will take place on Saturday, November 23rd at the McNichols Building in Denver featuring musicians from near and far telling Stories from the Road.  We’ll have the full confirmed lineup to share soon, but we know that David Bazan from Pedro the Lion, Will Johnson from Centromatic, and Erin Roberts from Porlolo are on the bill.

    ALSO!!! The Narrators are working with Off-Center at the Jones Theater on a show called Lived/Re-lived that will go into full production in March 2014.  Even though that is waaaaayyyy into the future, tickets are now on sale. Snatch ’em up.

    Thanks for listening!

    Although this episode is a little longer than our regular episodes, we guarantee that it’s worth the listen. Featured storytellers include: The Narrators co-host Robert Rutherford, David Gborie, Matt Braunger, and Cameron Esposito.

    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.
