Surviving War- Dayton, Ohio
from Story Swap Hosted by Jackie Andrews
In this episode of Story Swap, host Jackie Andrews visits Dayton, Ohio, to explore LORE Storytelling, an organization dedicated to teaching people how to craft and share true-life stories on stage. Founder Bridget Flaherty explains how LORE's workshops empower first-time tellers, business leaders, and community members to find their voice—and why education is at the heart of their work. The episode features two powerful stories shaped through LORE's coaching process. Megan Garrison recounts a terrifying encounter with gunfire and terrorism while teaching students in Somaliland, confronting the reality of living without safety. Anastasia shares a multigenerational story from Ukraine, revealing how famine, war, and resilience shaped her family—and how survival itself becomes a legacy. Story Swap brings you real people, real stories, and real connection—told live, without notes, straight from the stage.
