The Conversation: The Stories That Connect Us | Kabie Stein, Here:Say Storytelling

Host Christal Frost sits down with Kabie Stein, founder and creative director of Here:Say Storytelling, the beloved Traverse City series where community members take the stage to share true, first-person stories. Now entering its 11th season, Here:Say has become a Northern Michigan institution, and Kabie and Christal explore the origins of the series, what inspired its creation more than a decade ago, and why storytelling continues to resonate so deeply today.  Kabie also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming 2025–26 Here:Say season, launching November 19, including new themes, evolving storytellers, and a few surprises that keep the series fresh while staying true to its roots. "Currently: The Conversation" brings you authentic voices and meaningful stories from the people shaping life in Northern Michigan. A Compass Local podcast produced by Pancake Boy Productions.
