Food for Thought

Welcome to the York Story Slam podcast, where we feature select stories from our monthly open mic storytelling events in York, Pennsylvania.

On April 21, nine storytellers shared their stories with our audience at The Hangar, recently relocated to the Grotto Community Center in the heart of downtown York.

Our theme for our April story slam was FOOD FOR THOUGHT. We heard stories about cruise ship dinners, expanding palates, and one about the effects of drinking cabbage juice.

In the end, our winner was Mike Reed, who told the story of one of his earliest experiences with sushi.

Mike earned a spot in our Grand Slam in November. Our next story comes from Dru Peters, who recalled “the butter test” from her childhood dinner table.

Our final story on this month’s podcast comes from Gary White, who shared about transitioning from Maryland to his new home of York.

All the winners from this year’s open mic story slam events will return at the end of the season to compete for the title of Best Storyteller in York at our Grand Slam.

Updates on our events are available on our website, YorkStorySlam.com, and while you’re there, you can sign up for our monthly newsletter. You can also follow us on Facebook, and watch videos of all the stories from our events on our YouTube channel.

We hope to see you on stage soon! Thanks for listening.
