A storytelling podcast for the Northwestern University community. Each episode brings several true, unscripted stories from Northwestern to listeners.
Last quarter, Nine Lives hosted an intergenerational storytelling event in collaboration with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) over zoom. It was here that we first heard Medill senior Joey Safchik's touching story about her friendship with Gabriella Karin, a holocaust survivor. Joey reflects on their time together, the lessons she's learned from Gabriella and the many intricate ways she has affected her life.

Episode 29: Office Hours with Brian Bouldrey by Nine Lives Team
We set up a story booth in Main Library during reading week to give students a chance to take a study break and tell us a story. Our storytellers, Grace Shin, Zoe Port and Sam Cole, talked to us about an unenjoyable office hours session, a smelly first impression and an unlucky start to 2020. We hope these stories of life before the Coronavirus outbreak bring you comfort and hope for a return to normalcy in the future.
In our newest episode, TRANSLATIONS, Nine Lives invited three storytellers to come on the podcast to share their experiences with the power of language. Listen to stories that touch on the complexities of bilingualism, language barriers while studying abroad, and the fascinating art of literary translation. How does language play a role in your life?
