New Beginnings

Welcome to the York Story Slam podcast, where we’ll feature select stories from our monthly open mic storytelling events in York, Pennsylvania. On January 19, 2016, we held our first event, and fourteen storytellers got on the microphone to tell their stories to a sold-out crowd at Holy Hound Taproom in downtown York. The theme was “New Beginnings.” Brad Jennings won the night with the story of his first day working for a newspaper in another town. Next up is one of Brad’s newspaper colleagues, Eileen Joyce. Eileen told us about the challenges and opportunities she faced throughout a childhood full of frequent relocation. Our final story on this month’s podcast features Tom LaForgia. He told us about how family dynamics are changing for him with the recent passing of the matriarch of his family. Our podcast is produced with support from The Beer Ace. Find them at TheBeerAce.com.
