Special #8: A Tellabration (tm) of Podcasts

Author: Kris Baker Dersch November 19, 2016 Duration: 59:01

Tellabration (tm) is an international day of storytelling put on by the National Storytelling Network. Across the country and across the world, storytelling events large and small are put on, but to our knowledge No Extra Words' storytelling event is the only all-digital Tellabration (tm) event. We have invited podcasters large and small to tell their stories in their own special way to celebrate the audio storytelling done on podcasts every day.

Help and inspiration for my commentary came from Anne Lamott's fabulous book Stitches: a handbook on meaning, hope, and repair.

Our thanks for help on this episode to our fabulous podcast hosting service Libsyn and to the community at She Podcasts.

The campfire sounds on this episode come to us from the Free Sound Project, user matucha, with our thanks.

As always, theme music for this episode is "Aria Variata" by Bach, played by Brandon Kinsella. It is in the public domain and comes to us courtesy of the Free Music Archive.

Every attempt was made to locate the copyright owners of the camp songs used, but no author was located.

Kris Baker Dersch hosts No Extra Words one person's search for story, a quiet corner of the audio world dedicated to the power of brevity. Each episode is a complete, self-contained piece of flash fiction, with every story crafted to be under two thousand words. This constraint isn't a limitation but a focus, distilling narrative down to its essential elements-every sentence carries weight. You'll hear tales that span the spectrum of human experience, from subtle character moments to sudden, striking turns of events, all delivered with a thoughtful and intimate narration. The podcast lives up to its name, offering narratives that are precise and potent, leaving room for your own imagination to linger in the spaces between the words. It’s for anyone who appreciates the art of a well-told story and the unique intimacy that audio can bring to fiction. Tune in for a regular dose of concise creativity, a moment of literary escape that fits into the busiest of days.
