Saturday Roundup: David Holt, Megan Hicks, and Bil Lepp

A round-up of stories, songs, and interviews pulled from episodes that aired during the week of 20 February - 24 February. Weekly highlights featured in today's round-up:  Our very first Jambalaya episode. Jambalaya episodes featured an eclectic mix of stories, songs, and other snippets that were good on their own or combined together for an hour of fun.  The 44th National Storytelling Festival Episode. On this episode, we visited the 44th National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee where we met new and old friends to celebrate the renaissance of storytelling. Learn more about the festival by visiting www.storytellingcenter.net/festival February Stories (2017). In this episode, members of the Acting Company join Sam Payne to perform stories of letters and other epistolary narratives in front of a live studio audience. Also featured in this performance was musician Debra Fotheringham. We've included some material that didn't make it into the broadcast including a song called "White Bird" performed by Debra, and a letter by Thomas Otway performed by Noah Kershisnik.  Squeaky on the Roof. "Squeaky on the Roof" is the name of an Andy Offut Irwin album featuring an Aunt Margeurite story that includes, among other things, ghost sightings, convicted felons, a dog named Margeurite, a bride, and a groom. The album also includes a track featuring Bil Lepp.
