Podcasts

Apart from the storries you read her there are some amazing podcasts to listen to. Here are my favorite storytelling podcasts for you. When you can not read you can always listen to fantastic storries from around the world. While we used to tell stories around the campfire—and many of us still do—today, some of the best tales are shared through storytelling podcasts. There’s nothing like the opening notes of This American Life‘s theme song to signal that an excellent narrative is on the way—usually, more than one. Hello From the Magic Tavern, for instance, features catchy original musical numbers. If you’re feeling restless, play an episode or two, and let the narrator’s voice guide you. Regardless of your preference, like a beloved story, these great storytelling podcasts will draw you in and take you away.
