Welcome to this week's Storytime episode. On the off weeks from interviews, there are shorter, storytime episodes. These episodes will share one or two stories and the story behind them.

It's all a matter of family. Special Thanks to: My family for starting me on the path to becoming a runner and encouraging my passion for all these years.

Welcome to this week's Storytime episode. On the off weeks from interviews, there are shorter, storytime episodes. These episodes will share one or two stories and the story behind them. We are quickly approaching the unofficial start of summer: Memorial Day. It's a day set aside for grilling, days on the water, but, most importantly, it's a day of remembrance.

The final bonus episode of Season 2 is here, and it's a storyview episode! Today, we talk with Levi Danker and Kole Larson from the bands “Evergreen” and “Volition.” We discuss their chosen style of music, how they write their songs, and where they got their start. Plus, stick around at the end for a sample of their music. If you've never been a fan of punk rock, perhaps we've found your entry into the genre. The secondary purpose of this episode is to tell the story of how they got their start on a small stage in high school. Every year at my school, we hold a talent show that we simply call the Variety Show. This episode is to honor, recognize, and promote the importance of small shows like our Variety show and the importance of the Fine Arts in schools.

In this inspiring replay episode of Music Saved Me, host Lynn Hoffman sits down with acclaimed Nashville singer-songwriter Jess Jocoy for an intimate conversation about transformation, authenticity, and the healing power of music. Jess opens up about her deeply personal journey through life’s in-between spaces—navigating over a decade of loss, heartache, and self-doubt—and how songwriting became her path to resilience and self-discovery. She shares the stories behind her anticipated third studio album, “Cul-de-Sac Kid,” exploring the honest, cinematic songs that blend folk-rooted introspection with country storytelling. In this candid conversation, Jess discusses: ∙ How music became a guiding force through her most challenging moments ∙ The meaning behind “Cul-de-Sac Kid” and her unique “cul-de-sac country” sound ∙ Finding belonging and healing in a music industry that hasn’t always made space for outsiders ∙ The therapeutic power of songwriting as a lens for understanding loss and growth ∙ What it means to embrace your roots while forging your own artistic path Jess also reflects on the influences that shaped her career—from early inspiration by Alan Jackson and Shania Twain to settling into her authentic voice with age and experience. Listeners will get a sneak peek at new music and hear how every lyric Jess writes serves as an act of resilience and hope for anyone feeling caught in-between. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever turned to music for comfort, healing, or a way forward. Join us for echoes of resilience, vulnerability, and the transformative power of honest storytelling.

Today on Back to the 80s Radio, today's show is a little different. It's just me behind the mic—no co-host, no banter—just a moment to slow down and revisit one of the most powerful songs the 1980s ever gave us: We Are the World.This wasn't just a song. It was a moment in time. In 1985, the biggest voices in music came together—not for fame, not for charts—but to remind the world that compassion still mattered, that unity was possible, and that helping someone you'll never meet was worth doing. On today's show, I talk about what that moment meant back then—and why it feels even more important now.We'll reflect on the heart behind the song, the humanity in the room that night, and how the 80s had a way of bringing people together across styles, egos, and backgrounds for something bigger than themselves. This is one of those shows you listen to a little louder…and maybe think a little deeper. If you lived through it, you'll remember exactly where you were.If you didn't, you'll understand why this song still matters. Let's go back to a time when the world sang together. Back to the 80s RadioReal music. Real memories. Real heart. IBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/back-to-the-80s-radio--5883226/support.

As another year draws to a close, it's time to pause, look back, and take stock. As has become something of a tradition, this article shares with you my 2025 gameplay experience, some stats about the blog, my event attendance, a summary of the blog's finances and a brief look ahead to 2026. It's as much for my own record as it is for anyone who wants to know more about what 2025 has been like for me and the blog. Just don't expect any grand conclusions or dramatic discussions.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/12/27/2025-a-year-in-review-saturday-review/Useful LinksTranquility: The Descent review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/10/18/tranquility-the-descent-saturday-review/Tapestry review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2019/11/09/tapestry-saturday-review/Villagers review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2022/10/01/villagers-saturday-review/Mystic Vale review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2018/12/08/mystic-vale/A Gentle Rain review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/07/05/a-gentle-rain-saturday-review/Knarr review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2024/07/20/knarr-saturday-review/Oath: Chronicles of Empire and Exile review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2021/11/27/oath-chronicles-of-empire-and-exile-saturday-review/Ayar: Children of the Sun review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/11/22/ayar-children-of-the-sun-saturday-review/Wyrmspan review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/12/20/wyrmspan-saturday-review/General Orders: Sengoku Jidai review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/11/01/general-orders-sengoku-jidai-saturday-review/UK Games Expo 2025 review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/06/07/uk-games-expo-2025-saturday-review/The Human Side of Miniatures Games guest post: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/12/16/mini-magic-the-human-side-of-miniatures-games-topic-discussion/How Board Games Build Communication Skills guest post: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/11/18/the-hidden-language-of-co-op-gaming-how-board-games-build-communication-skills-topic-discussion/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Belong by Moavii | https://www.youtube.com/@MoaviiMusicFree To Use | https://freetouse.com/musicMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comTravel by Lukrembo | https://soundcloud.com/lukremboFree To Use | https://freetouse.com/musicMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comWe Are by Moavii | https://www.youtube.com/@MoaviiMusicFree To Use | https://freetouse.com/musicMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comBreakfast in Paris by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_USAesthetic by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_USSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

https://www.bathtubmermaid.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/TBM2512-16-DDOA-Icicle.mp3 Description: Welcome to the Dog Days of Advent. I made a list of prompts, and wrote a bite-sized story for each one. They don’t live in the same universe, but they’re all a little off-kilter from what you might expect from holiday fare. And if you pay attention, you’ll notice that the last line of each story becomes the first line of the next. Today’s prompt is Icicle. Excerpt: She snorted. “‘Cause of death: holiday décor.'” “‘Victim was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but was at least festively themed.'” Episode Cast: Melissa A.

Board games are often seen as a way to bring people together. They're a social activity, even for solo gamers. When we sit down to play, we fall into familiar rhythms of turns, actions and mechanisms. We don't even need to share the same language. Playing board games is a time when gestures, shared goals, and the actions within the magic circle of the game itself act as a way for us to communicate. Board games themselves are like a shared language, where friendly rivalry, cooperative play and everything else sometimes conveys more than words ever can.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/11/25/games-as-lingua-franca-how-board-games-can-overcome-language-barriers-topic-discussion/Useful LinksPandemic review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/01/18/pandemic-saturday-review/Tapestry review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2019/11/09/tapestry-saturday-review/Ofrenda review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/05/10/ofrenda-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Over Oceans by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_USEndless by Moavii | https://www.youtube.com/@MoaviiMusicFree To Use | https://freetouse.com/musicMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comSurvival Mode by Unheard | https://freetouse.com/music/unheardFree To Use | https://freetouse.com/musicMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comTeapot by Lukrembo | https://soundcloud.com/lukremboFree To Use | https://freetouse.com/musicMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/(Photo by Stefan on Unsplash)
We officially wrap up season 2 this week with the recap episode. Two-thirds of the "Three Dads" are back. Unfortunately, the recording schedule didn't work with Isaiah, and he had to miss out this time. (We're sorry!!!!!) Join Shawn and I as we sit down to discuss the joy of season 2, statistics, and finding guests. Once again, thank you to all of our guests and our listeners! This podcast is only made better by all of you. We look forward to hearing more of your important stories. A big thanks to Shawn for taking the lead on this episode. Isaiah, we'll make it up to you. I swear. *Side note: Something went wrong with the audio during my recording. The audio quality is not up to snuff. To my audiophiles out there, please accept my apology. You'll hear from us again around the holidays and then in the spring for season 3!

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served! Today, we honor those who have chosen to dedicate a portion of their lives to serving their country. Today I have a very special guest, Jerry Wadian. Jerry is a Vietnam veteran and a journalist. On today's bonus episode, we discuss his time in the service as well as the important work he does helping other veterans share their stories. As the son, grandson, and nephew of many vets, I would love to extend my thanks to everyone who has served. The sacrifices you have made have not gone unnoticed. Your commitment to the defense of the United States is appreciated not only today but every day. ***Editorial Note: Jerry brings up the use of a slur that soldiers used during his time in Vietnam. Here at Once There Was a Podcast, we do not condone, want to justify, or promote the use of racial slurs. The discussion was left in to provide insight into mindsets at the time and to offer a chance to understand a time that many of us know too little about. Storytime: “We'll be here all night.” Special Thanks to: Jerry Wadian Veterans everywhere Alex (my sound guru) Helena and Weston Fantz (of the band Not Jupiter) for the music My Wife and Daughter You Instagram: Oncetherewasapod Facebook: Once There Was a Podcast Podcast Email: oncetherewasapod@gmail.com Linktree: https://linktr.ee/oncetherewasapod Storytime Submission Link (requires a sign-in for security reasons): https://forms.gle/Qd4XCkrBxtBnJeRp9 Additional Audio and Music: Music by Helena and Weston Fantz (Not Jupiter) High School Crowd 1/Courtesy of Epidemic Sound

S2Ep24: Epilogue-Dangerous Stories We wrap up season 2 this week with the Epilogue, Dangerous Stories. This week, I reflect on the power of stories and the dangers of using them as weapons. As this season comes to a close, there are so many people to thank for a wonderful season 2. A big thank you to all of our guests: Keith Murphy, Betty Kay Merkle, Trevor Ragan, Ryan Nesbit, Isaiah Stansbery, Shawn Peterson, MJ Matheson, Nicole Havenstrite, Lindsey Sorenson, Bassi Affia, the Bearded Company, Kari Straube, Nicole Lenius, Sierra Bullerman, Jason Martin-Hiner, Dr. Paul Skrade, Amara Huffine, Andrea Vignovitch, Brian Abeling, Helena Fantz, and Weston Fantz. Also, a big thank you to the season 2 guest storytellers: Malachi Rothlisberger, Jayla Cowley, Nolan Bakke, and Dr. Rebecca Bushbaum. Finally, thank you to all of you for being a fantastic audience. It is truly my honor to share all these stories with you. I look forward to having you join us for some bonus episodes in the off-season and then next spring for season 3. I love and appreciate you all. I cannot wait to hear your important stories.

It's time for a BONUS storytime episode! For this very special episode, you'll hear all of the different iterations of the Once There Was a Podcast theme song before we finally settled on something usable. There are various styles of music, there are unique sounds, and yes, you guessed it, TRAINS! Near the end of the episode, you can find the infamous Train Cut. I hear the people want it. They've been hounding me to release the file. Hop on board and come with us on this JOURNEY! (See what I did there?!?) Special Thanks to: Helena and Weston Fantz (of the band Not Jupiter) for making music for the show, making me laugh, and threatening me with Train Facts Alex (my sound guru) My Wife and Daughter You Instagram: oncetherewasapod Facebook: Once There Was a Podcast Email: oncetherewasapod@gmail.com Linktree: https://linktr.ee/oncetherewasapod Storytime Submission Link (requires a sign-in for security reasons): https://forms.gle/Qd4XCkrBxtBnJeRp9 Additional Audio and Music: Music by Helena and Weston Fantz (Not Jupiter) Music by Helena and Weston Fantz (Not Jupiter) Music by Helena and Weston Fantz (Not Jupiter) Music by Helena and Weston Fantz (Not Jupiter) Music by Helena and Weston Fantz (Not Jupiter) Music by Helena and Weston Fantz (Not Jupiter) Music by Helena and Weston Fantz (Not Jupiter) (You get the idea)
All aboard this crazy train for an interview that really goes off the rails! Our next guests are the creators and composers of the new Once There Was a Podcast theme song, which debuted this season: Helena and Weston Fantz! Join us as we discuss family bands, trains, composing music, trains, telling stories through sound, and trains! If you want to hear more of their work, check out their family band, Not Jupiter, on Spotify! End of season information: This is the penultimate episode of season 2! While we still have a few more regular episodes left in the tank, this one will be called the finale with an “epilogue” next week! Between now and then, we will also release a bonus episode that features all of the other music we sorted through to find our final theme song. After that, Once There Was a Podcast will release episodes irregularly until the start of season 3. Storytime: Weston and the Carpet Domain (A Cautionary Tale) Special Thanks to: Helena and Weston for the interview, the hard work, and all the laughs.
