Chris Charpentier at The Narrators, January 17, 2013.

Episode 13 of The Narrators Podcast features stories from playwright Ellen K. Graham and comedian Chris Charpentier. The stories were recorded on January 17, 2013 at our beloved Deer Pile in Denver, Colorado.  The theme for the night was “Adults Only,” but it was thankfully not as raunchy as you might expect.  It’s still a good idea to shield your nana’s ears if you play this while having an afternoon tea.  Check out the buttons at the top of the page here to see all the different ways of subscribing to the podcast.  You can find it on iTunes, on Stitcher, or through  myriad RSS feeds.

The intro and outro music was produced and graciously provided by Sans Seruf, and you can find more slick beats for your earholes over at his bandcamp page.

Thanks for listening.  Our live show for February is on the 21st (8pm at Deer Pile), and we are partnering with Greater Than Collective to present an evening of stories based on the theme of “Record Stores and Rock Shows.”  It’s gonna be a good’un.

The cult of story, bathing in the red glow of a fiery narrative.

The cult of story, bathing in the red glow of a fiery narrative.

Episode 12 of The Narrators Podcast features stories from political writer Colleen Leggett and zine magnate Kelly Shortandqueer.  These stories were recorded on January 17, 2013 at The Deer Pile in Denver, Colorado.  The theme for the night was “Adults Only”, so it’s probably best if you don’t play this in front of a group of pre-school children, if you know what’s best for ‘em.
