This week we present two stories from people who needed a little luck to get by. Part 1: Studying Marine Biology in Florida, Philadelphian Kory Evans feels like a fish out of water... while fishing. Part 2: Carla Katz finds out she has a brain aneurysm while getting screened for a kidney transplant. Kory Evans is an evolutionary biologist broadly interested in the development, evolution and ecology of phenotypic diversity. His research integrates developmental biology, biomechanics, phylogenetic comparative methods, and ecology to understand how phenotypes develop, evolve, and interact with their respective environments across multiple time scales and how intrinsic (development) and extrinsic (environment) mechanisms influence patterns of phenotypic diversity. Carla Katz is a Jersey born and bred storyteller, comic, and actor living in Hoboken. Her solo show, ANGELINA, debuted at the SOLOCOM 2019 Comedy Festival at the Peoples Improv Theater. Her earlier solo show, BODY PARTS, sold out at the SOLOCOM 2017. She is a Moth StorySLAM Champion and has performed widely in New York, including at the Comedy Cellar, the Fat Black Pussycat, Story Collider, The Liar Show, The AWFNH Show at the Kraine Theatre, NYC's Secrets and Lies, Generation Women, and Funny Over Fifty at Caveat-NYC, The Barrow Group Restorative Stories, Sideshow Goshko and a wide a variety of shows at the Magnet Theater and the Tank. She has also performed across New Jersey, including in Hoboken's On The Waterfront Storytelling Series, Word of Mouth Storytelling by the Bucks Country Playhouse in Lambertville, and This Really Happened at the Hopewell Theatre. Carla is co-producer with Adam Wade of the Hoboken-based On the Waterfront Storytelling Series. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

An overdue update on my mad writing adventures. I’ve recently written pitches for my kids’ TV show, an investor in my production company and for a book publisher. Also, my MC hat’s back on again, tying together speeches at government-funded symposiums to The Moth story slams in Melbourne. Lastly, I reflect on lessons learnt since leaving Perth over a year ago, and how being at the Australian Podcast Awards makes me grateful for finally finding my [sound-making] tribe. Find my latest photos at https://instagram.com/takuspeaks/. Life is full of pitches My main focus right now is developing and pitching my kids’ TV series – it’s definitely keeping me on my toes! The kids at Balcatta Primary School in Perth completely recharged me with their love and excitement when I told them what I’m doing. Onwards I go… I pitched a new book idea to a publisher after winning frankie magazine’s Writing+ Podcast prize in the 2018 Good Stuff Awards. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes with the book stuff! (Find me in Issue 83. of frakie magazine here) Stop, collaborate and listen I’m super-chuffed to be hosting my first Moth Story Slam event at The Melba Spiegeltent in Collingwood on 15 May.

Our Moth StorySLAM theme was simply…Manners. Seriously, out of that whole Moth experience of discussing former in-laws on stage, having an amazing audience that responded to every beat of my story, to having my friends in the crowd cheering for me, to jumping off stage and dancing, to being with other phenomenal storytellers…the ONE thing I was freaking out about when I got to bed, was…”OMG I might’ve impolitely fangirl-hugged Cal Wilson too hard when she announced I’d won.” #epicfail Important note: Cal Wilson is a comedian, writer, screenwriter and performer who inspires me to smithereens.
