  • Summary

  • In this episode I discuss 'applied storytelling' as well as performance with Glasgow based storyteller Dan Serridge.

    We dive into story as a tool for community engagement and how it can break down barriers.

    Dan shares his experience of walking the border between England and Scotland, whilst musing the classic tale of Thomas the Rhymer, and his own experience of loss. How do we return changed from a trip to the underworld?

    This theme continues, using the greek myth of orpheus as a means to process grief, and we discuss the role of story in challenging moments.

    The tone lightens as we share riddles and warm up for a 'Feast of Fools' finale, and Dan tells a tale of a character who aims to gain some luck by sprinkling salt on a magpie's tale...easier said than done!
