Story Jam Radio
by LP & Jer
Whether you know it or not, you love yourself a good story. Fiction, non-fiction, gossip from a neighbor, a beach read, a video game, even the "serious" news you watch - all of it is a story. Whatever the story, they all serve their respective purpose - to intrigue, to entice, maybe to anger or manipulate. At their core, they force us to ask questions about what it means to be human, and maybe to take a sneak peek into the lives of others through magical lenses. Welcome to Story Jam - The Radio Podcast that talks about story. We're your hosts, LP and Jer, and we invite you into our discussions about story across a range of media. Whether you're a writer, a reader, a literary fan, a Manga nerd, a gamer, a musician, or somewhere else on the playing field, we invite you to join us to talk about the stories that shape us and why it matters. Jump into the story with us here and jam with us.
