Your next storyteller is Adam Burke. Adam is a standup comedian from Chicago (by way of Australia and Ireland) and he’s a regular panelist on NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. Adam shared this story during a special edition of The Narrators at High Plains Comedy Festival last September. The theme of the show was “Bomb.”
