A podcast of short personal stories by visual artist and lifelong storyteller Gregg LeFevre. Gregg's life has always been about telling stories including his public art works all over America that tell the forgotten stories of small towns and big cities. The stories he tells on the podcast are more personal. In each episode he brings you an offbeat story or two from his life, in under 20 minutes. Season two features stories about him starting a landslide in Big Sur, finding himself on the receiving end of police brutality, and his experiences with the lighter side of Buddhist meditation.
The Compulsive Storyteller with Gregg LeFevre is a podcast that has quickly become a beloved addition to my library. As both a listener and the little sister of Gregg LeFevre, I can attest to the authenticity and poignancy of his stories. From humorous tales of failed DIY projects to heartwarming accounts of his mother's experiences as a pilot during WWII, each episode is enjoyable and captivating. I highly recommend giving this podcast a chance, as I believe you will not regret it.
One of the best aspects of The Compulsive Storyteller is Gregg's ability to immerse listeners in the craft of storytelling. His stories are filled with humor, vulnerability, and honesty, making them incredibly relatable and entertaining. I particularly appreciate his willingness to share personal experiences and life lessons, allowing listeners to learn from his journey. Additionally, the podcast is well-produced, with high-quality audio and accompanying background music that enhances the storytelling experience.
As for any potential drawbacks, there are few that come to mind when listening to this podcast. However, some listeners may prefer more variety in terms of topics covered in each episode. While the stories shared by Gregg are engaging and diverse within themselves, some individuals might enjoy a wider range of themes or perspectives throughout the series.
In conclusion, The Compulsive Storyteller with Gregg LeFevre is an exceptional podcast that showcases the talent and passion for storytelling. Through his episodes, Gregg captivates audiences with his humor, vulnerability, and honest reflections on life. He has inspired me personally to document my own stories before they are forgotten and possibly share them someday. If you enjoy well-told stories that connect you to others' experiences while providing entertainment and insight along the way, this podcast is definitely worth a listen.
