    Stories from Boise's Deaf Community. Hosted by Timothy Blonsky, President of Idaho Association of the Deaf. James Castle was born deaf, and, while he attended Idaho's school for deaf and blind children, he never became proficient in reading, writing, or a conventional means of communication. Even so, Castle was clearly passionate about language and communication, and created a large number of works investigating letters, signs, and symbols assembled into dizzying and ever-changing combinations. One of these is his combination of the words "Purse" and "Discusses," which individually don't mean what we think they do and yet, collectively, the piece does communicate. In honor of James Castle's creative ways of connecting, we celebrate the stories of our incredible deaf community on the back porch of his former house. Tim Blonsky, president of the Idaho Association of the Deaf , will host three featured storytellers intermixed with a community story slam (which is open to all to share on the theme). Featuring: Mikkel Nelson Jo Ann Dobecki Shopbell Sonny Cabbage Interpreted for the deaf and hard-of-hearing by LaVona Andrew Carson and Holly Thomas-Mowery Produced by Jodi Eichelberger

Cue 80s hair and Queen ballads about champions, it's time for SLAMMER OF THE YEAR—where the standout short storytellers of each show from the past year sound off for the top-of-the-charts title. For 2022, we turned up the volume with the theme BATTLE OF THE BANDS. THE LiNE UP Two bands of storytellers vocalized the soundtracks of their lives as each slammer told a 5-minute story inspired by a memory-making song. At intermission, the audience voted on their favorite “album" of stories from each band and selected the band "63!" The winning group then broke out as solo artists, improvising a 3-minute story inspired by a song picked by the Story Story community. Our panel of judges from Dirt Fishermen took note of how everything tracked, and "THE SLAMMER OF THE YEAR 2022" was awarded to John Matthai!

    Hey there. This is Story Story Late-Night, the positively shameless black sheep of our Story Story Night family where you hear bleep worthy stories on an unblushing theme. We need your support. Text the code "STORYPOD" to 44-321. In this series we follow the yellow brick road with tales told live, without notes or inhibitions in the walled yard of the Old Idaho Penitentiary. In our quest for the "Wizard of Ahhhhhz!" we are figuring out what the difference is between "GOOD WiTCH / BAD WiTCH." Is it just a matter of judgement? There's no place like late-night, there's no place like late-night.
