    234: Andrew Orvedahl, “Loyalty Test” May 28, 2021
    Show notes

    Today’s story is as fresh as you can get—it’s the most recent story told at The Narrators. Last week we celebrated our 11th anniversary, outdoors in the parking lot of Buntport Theater. It was our first time performing anywhere near the theater in over a year and we were definitely a little rusty, but it felt great to be home.

    We want to take a moment to thank everyone who’s supported the show over the years and the community that has grown around us, especially folks like Robert Rutherford and Mary Robertson, who brought the show to San Diego for a few years; my co-host Erin Rollman, who welcomed the show to its current home at Buntport; Sydney Crain, Karen Wachtel, Jessi Whitten, and Scott Carney, the patient and generous team of folks who help me keep the show and podcast going; and the countless others who’ve volunteered their time, energy, and personal stories to The Narrators over the years. And last but certainly not least, we’d like to thank Andrew Orvedahl for creating the show back in 2010.

    We can’t think of any better way to commemorate the occasion than listening to a story from the master himself—today’s story comes from comedian, actor, and game designer Andrew Orvedahl. Andrew told this true story just nine days ago, outdoors at Buntport Theater—the theme of the evening was “Confessions.”

    Special thanks to Knuckle Pups for today’s outro music!

    233: Hayden Kristal, “The Folksy Wisdom of Bitsy, The Deaf/Blind Dog” May 21, 2021
    Show notes

    Our next story comes from Hayden Kristal. A national touring comedian, public speaker and disability rights activist, Hayden is also mom to two disabled dogs (and a whole farm of other critters). In this story, she gives voice to Bitsy, her deaf and blind cattle dog and the tales Hayden imagines her spinning. She told this story live at Buntport Theater on January 15, 2020. The theme of the evening was “Vision.”

    232: Miriam Suzanne, “Born To Choose This Way” May 14, 2021
    Show notes

    On today’s episode, we’re sharing a story from Miriam Suzanne. Miriam is the author of Riding SideSaddle, a novel written on 250 shuffleable notecards, and a musician in the band Teacup Gorilla. She’s also a performer, designer, web developer and so much more. Miriam told this story in front of a live audience at Buntport Theater in June 2019. The theme of the evening was “Framed.”

    231: Brice Maiurro, “An Incomplete Family History Written In Blue Ink” May 07, 2021
    Show notes

    Our next story comes from Brice Maiurro. Brice is the Editor-in-Chief of the South Broadway Ghost Society, the Poetry Editor for Suspect Press, and the author of two poetry books, including one called “Stupid Flowers.” In this story, Brice talks about his paternal grandmother—a woman who loved her family, trinkets, and the color blue—and about the questions that were never answered during her life. Brice told this story live at Buntport Theater on January 15, 2020. The theme of the evening was “Vision.”


    230: Laura Condi, “Figure It Out By The Time You’re 30” Apr 30, 2021
    Show notes

    Your next storyteller is Laura Condi. Laura is a recovering standup comedian turned storyteller and writer who’s performed at Ignite Denver, Denver Open Media, and, because she’s from Southern California, she’s one of the only people to have performed at The Narrators in Denver and our former sister show in San Diego. She told this true story about having life totally figured out back in October 2017 at Buntport Theater. The theme of the evening was “In the Dark.” Enjoy!

    Special thanks to PHIE for this episode’s outro music.


    229: Matthew Taylor, “The Gusto Evaporates” Apr 23, 2021
    Show notes

    Our next story comes from actor, author, The Moth Denver Grand Slam Champion, and storytelling teacher Matthew Taylor. Matthew is also the author of the fantastic book, Goat Lips: Tales of a Lapsed Englishman, which tells stories of him moving from his tiny sailing village of Itchenor, England to this side of the pond. In his most recent appearance at The Narrators, Matthew shared this true story about a skinny-dipping meet-cute gone wrong. This story was recorded live at Buntport Theater on January 15, 2020. The theme of the evening was “Vision.”

    Special thanks to Mega Gem for this episode’s outro music!


    228: Debbie Scheer, “The Uncomfortable Work” Apr 16, 2021
    Show notes

    Today’s story comes from Debbie Scheer. Debbie is an entertainer, storyteller, auctioneer, MC, Costco enthusiast, and long-time favorite of the show. As you’re listening to her story, keep in mind that it was recorded live at Buntport Theater in December 2019—almost sixteen months ago. The theme of the evening was “Ritual.”

    Show notes

    A self-described black nerd shares three true stories about his relationship with sports

    Our next story comes from a self-described blerd—”black nerd”—our dear friend Stephen Brackett. As a lyricist, poet, activist, member of The Flobots, founder of Youth on Record, and Colorado’s Music Ambassador, Stephen has long used his intelligence and powerful writing to draw attention to the causes he believes in. In this story, however, he recounts a few times when his physicality and athleticism were put in the spotlight instead. Stephen told this story live to a virtual audience on 17 March 2021; the theme of the show was “Rebound.”

    226: Adrian Mesa, “Sigue Lo Tuyo” Apr 02, 2021
    Show notes

    Your next storyteller is Adrian Mesa. Adrian is a comedian, chef, and actor originally from Hollywood, Florida. He shared this story about his family and their beloved mango tree way back in February 2016, but his experience feels especially relevant these days, as we peek our heads out of the pandemic’s shadow and ponder how we’re going to recover from this year of tragedy—and where we’re going next. Adrian told this story live in front of a packed crowd at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado; the theme of the show was “DIY or Die.”

    225: Bethany Hernandez, “I’m The One With The Deals” Mar 26, 2021
    Show notes

    Three short true stories about saying no

    Our next story comes from Bethany Hernandez. Bethany is a `Colorado Springs-based performer and artist who we are lucky enough to sometimes coax back up to Denver, a former home of hers. She’s a favorite of the show and just a treat of a person. For this story, Bethany presents a triptych of “no”—three small stories where she spoke up for herself and felt more powerful for doing so. Bethany told this story live at the Buntport Theater on November 20, 2019. The theme of the evening was “Reply to All.”

    Special thanks to Speedboat for today’s outro music.
