Harry Crews said it best: “Nothing is allowed to die in a society of story telling people. It is all–the good and the bad–carted up and brought along from one generation to the next And everything that is brought along is colored and shaped by those who bring it.” If that is so, is what they bring with them true? I’m convinced that it is.” Everything Is Stories is an ongoing survey of personal histories. Each episode features a first person narrative from someone who has lived through consequential changes to their notion of self and the world. We don’t record to defend or demonstrate an idea. Rather, we create a document of what the teller saw and felt documents during their transformative experiences. Take a listen. Start anywhere. You may find a new definition of reality’s highs and lows.  Created and Produced by Mike Martinez and Tyler Wray Know of a story or storyteller?
