First of all, I have to direct you to the Lehigh Valley Storytelling Guild. Our "home" is Godfrey Daniels Listening Club in Bethlehem PA, one of the premiere rooms for music and the spoken word on the east coast. We hold three day festival in June called The Lehigh Valley Story Festival.

My Favorite Links

One of the people present on Storytell is Jackie Baldwin. She has two claims to fame. First is her site Story Lovers Greeting Card where you can find SOS: SEARCHING OUT STORIES. Here is a great and growing compendium of stories and links to stories.

Second, Jackie also holds forth on the radio with Story Lovers World on Sunday nights at 5:00pm Pacific time (8:00pm my time) on KSVY Sonoma 91.3 FM, also streamed live on the web, as well as archived. Here is a chance to hear many, many fine tellers from all over the United States and other lands.

For those of you who like to read hundreds of e-mails the Storytell listserv is for you. There is lots of conversation and good information. There is also difference of opinions, but that is a healthy thing. It is hosted by the National Storytelling Network. You can just "lurk" and not type a word.
And now for something completely different. My son, Kevin, is half the brains behind Spaceship Brain. He is a dependant -- excuse me -- independant film maker. Despite what you might see on this site, let me assure you, he actually did have a happy childhood.
If you are interested in storytelling there are two sites you need to check out: The National Storytelling Network and Storyteller.net. Here is all sorts of information on storytelling, including locating storytellers in your area. Also there are articles and pod casts, particularly on Storyteller.net.
