Podcast & Weekly Stories

Dear friends,

The first of our podcast stories are up, thanks to the brilliant Leigh Malaihollo. They are raw and unpolished and real, just like the rest of Story Time. Head to www.storytime.site/podcast to enjoy.

If your story was published in the daily stories project earlier this year, and you’d like to submit your audio version, too, get in touch! We love being able to link the voice to the story, there’s real power in listening to a person reading their own words.

Soon we’ll be starting on the next topic, “the best thing that happened.” Instead of daily stories, these will be weekly. I wondered if the topic was too light, considering our current social climate, but I think we should stick to it.

I hope these stories will act as escapism or entertainment. The time between stories will give us space to continue to talk and discuss the important things going on in our community and the world. Let’s not underestimate the power of stopping and reading, of finding space to travel through time with a stranger. To take a moment of peace in someone else's world can be an act of self care and connection.

Weekly stories will begin on Saturday. If you like the topic and feel inspired, submit stories to lily@storytime.site . I hope you enjoy the first voices in our podcast, a project that thanks to Leigh, will continue to grow with the rest of Story Time.

With love

Lily xxx
