Foreign Soil

Welcome to the York Story Slam podcast, where we feature select stories from our monthly open mic storytelling events in York, Pennsylvania. On March 21, 11 storytellers shared their stories with our audience at Holy Hound Taproom in downtown York. Our theme for the evening was Foreign Soil. We heard stories about vacations, studying abroad, working abroad, living abroad, airport adventures, being in unfamiliar territory, and even one about an overseas adoption. Bryan R. Caine won with his story about visiting Ireland while studying James Joyce. Next up is Phil Broder. Phil recounted a stressful Indian airport adventure from his travels as a professional kite flyer. Our final story on this month’s podcast comes from Aaron Lewis, who told us about a hardworking family acquaintance from when he was a child in Bahrain. All the winners from this year’s open mic story slam events will return to compete for the title of Best Storyteller in York. Tickets for our events are available on our website. and while you’re there, you can sign up for our monthly newsletter.
