Story Jam 2014 – Presented by Tell Us Something
This edition of Tell Us Something was recorded on May 5th, 2014 at the Top Hat Lounge. This is a special edition of the podcast, being Story Jam, presented by Tell Us Something. A story jam is different from a story slam in that it is not a contest — everyone wins. This is the entire event, so time stamps have been added for the start times for each storyteller.
The sound quality of the podcast production is not up to the standard of usual Tell Us Something episodes. This is because we produced this episode ourselves in an effort to save money. As you listen, you will see that paying for professional sound production is worth the money.
Still, the stories are excellent. Please have a listen.
