Each October, storytellers and audiences of all ages gather at the International Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee. This year, because of the pandemic, the festival is going virtual.

Becky Kilimnik fell in love with spooky storytelling during her childhood in the mountains of Tennesse. Today, she expresses this passion in her art, design, and podcasting. Listen today to hear her behind-the-scenes experiences of owning an art gallery, upbeat and humorous afterlife art collecting tips, and what it takes to scare someone who tells scary stories for a living.  Becky owns a graphic design studio in Atlanta, GA. A few years back, Becky, along with family members, owned and operated 2 Rules Fine Art in Marietta, GA. Becky designed the gallery to be welcoming for everyone. In this interview, Becky shares how they selected the artists for their gallery, why some galleries don't display prices, and how they dealt with the gallery's ghost. Becky's advice is to purchase art because it grabs you, not because it matches your décor. She also recommends that fans of Halloween check out surrealist art for inspiration.   Becky grew up in Eastern Tennesse, where storytelling is part of the culture. Tennesse is full of spooky stories of hell hounds, Big Foot, and tales of jilted lovers. Becky believes the blend of cultures, isolation, and being in tune with nature have melted together to create an environment for the best stories.   Becky recommended these artists, galleries, and festivals:  http://www.havenartgallery.com (Gallery in Northport, NY)  https://www.dorothycircusgallery.uk  (Gallery in London and Rome)  https://www.instagram.com/jm.aguado/ (Artist Jesus Aguado)  https://www.instagram.com/nicolasbruno/ (Artist Nicolas Bruno)  https://www.izaoctober.com (Artist Iza October)  https://witcheswynd.com (Halloween storytelling event in Kingsport, TN)  https://www.storytellingcenter.net/the-festival/ (International Storytelling Festival in TN)  Becky and Diana Doty cohost the personal ghost stories podcast, Homespun Haints.

In this episode, my guest, Donna Marie Todd, treats us to the wonderful art form of storytelling. Donna Marie calls herself a singer of stories. Stories are one of the most ancient forms of entertainment, education, and insight. The International Storytelling Festival held in Jonesboro, Tennessee each year celebrates this art form In this episode, Donna Marie introduces us to a particular kind of storytelling called Biblical storytelling. Jewish and Christian scripture, referred to by Christians as the Bible, is full of stories and the overall arch of Jewish and Christian scripture is that of story. Christian hymns such as 'I Love to Tell the Story,' 'Tell Me the Story of Jesus,' and 'I Will Sing the Wondrous Story' make reference to that overarching story. Jewish Rabbis use story extensively as commentary on the Torah and as a tool for moral instruction. Rabbi Jesus followed that tradition in his use of parables. In Biblical storytelling, the storyteller uses a passage of scripture as the basis for the story. Sometimes the passage is quoted verbatim with vocal and bodily dramatic emphases. Sometimes the scripture passage is blended with creative additions or paraphrased in creative ways. In all of its forms, Biblical storytelling brings insight out of the passage that causes 'Ah!' and 'A-ha!' moments. In this episode, Donna Marie tells us the story of David, Bathsheba, and Uriah.
