I thought that I posted a blog, but was unable to view it after completion. Either it takes some time for blogs to appear, or I pushed the wrong button? Which was it?
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Life is a bit hectic as I get ready to leave for the Kansas Storytelling Festival early tomorrow morning. Thank you for your interest in my work. I have a number of articles I can share. How would you like me to do that? I probably won't have time to send you something until next week. In the mean time, I will try to post a video, if that is possible.
Hi Eric
Yes I listened To La'ron Williams interview. Appreciated what was discussed about finding a place of common ground to create an opening for critical consciousness of social justice issues and La'ron's advocacy for being proactive - which is a founding premise of my study.
Cheers
Hi Eric, Yes I've been playing around with the page and adding some photos. Yes please get those podcasts out. I thought there was something wrong with my download when I saw recent shows advertised on your page but not on my ipod. Serena x
Dear Wolf,
thanks for your words.
I'm very happy to have been invited to join the group.
I'm very interested in your work on dyslexie with children, I would love to know more about it.
I recorded some books for a library who proposes books to blind people.
The library told me about their will to find out more about projects to help children in schools with their dyslexy. Looking forward to reading you again, please receive my many greetings.

Hi,
Thanks for the follow up. I was pretty well versed in Podcasting before taking the course, so I took it more looking at how you think about podcasting and how you think about building an audience..etc.
Here's what I liked:
- I liked the beginning of the course and how it made me think of my particular podcasting topic. It made me really nail down what the show was about and how to keep it focused.
- I liked the suggestions on services to host a podcast and other tools information.
- It was a well put together course. Especially for someone who might be new to podcasting. It was a good leaping off point for each topic.
I don't have much I didn't like about it, but if I could have it differently, which I wouldn't suggest anything if you didn't ask. But giving it some thought for your TQM purposes.
- Possibly have a couple audio files talking about how to interview people and actually showing and hearing the process. (that's where i have the most questions.)
- Maybe have an index or list of services and tools in one handy place like a sitemap page or something for easy browsing and discovery of podcasting related sites and resources.
- Maybe an audio file with part of an uncut segment, then with an edit or two, then with an intro, and possibly add a segway music clip, showing the 'professionalizing' of the recording.
Sometimes, I couldn't do all the excersizes and near the end of the course, I did get busy and couldn't give as much attention to it as I wanted.
And as I was taking the course, it occured to me how strange it was that I was taking a course on podcasting from a place i came to learn how to tell stories. (But i did want to learn how to make a podcast as professional sounding as yours.) What I really want to see is an email course on how to tell a story. How to choose one, memorize it, make it your own, and presentation tips. Etc.
I thought it was a pretty dang good course though. I mean, for a free course, I got 1000 times my moneys worth. So as the sound byte on the show says... Thank you for doing what you do Eric!
Hi Eric,
I'm currently doing the podcasting course you keep plugging, and i'm on the second one and enjoying the process. I'll let you know how it goes. Hope you are having a great summer!
Thanks Eric.
I think I am asking a different Q - how to sell storytelling to communities ? As an activity and performance etc. Is it because the "dress up" and be disguised or masked or someone else phenomennon of theater that is such a draw?
Ciao Fra'Lupo!
Thanks for this. I just got back from doing theater with kids http://royalstonshakespearecompany.blogspot.com/- wish that people wanted storyteling as much as they seem to value theater. I cannot give away a storytelling program, like the ones Karen Chace does, but people actually pay me to do theater with kids. What is up?
What do I need to do ?
Ciao for now,
Norah
Hi Eric,
You asked which tradition I practice with. It's the White Plum lineage which was founded by the late Maezumi Roshi.

I'm very interested in this idea of storytelling and am currently doing the process of searching for some stories to start a repetoire. I'm so just at the beginning, it ain't even funny. But your podcast has been a great starting point. In Buddhism we have something called Bright Faith. This is when you hear a teaching or have an insight that just really inspires you and you get all excited about it. It's that initial vigor of innocence and inexperience. That's where i'm at in my interest in story telling. I have no idea how or what I'll do with it, but it's exciting to think of all the possibilities.
Do you know any stories that deal with contentment and being easily satisfied?
Great photos! Thanks for sharing them with us. I would love to hear/see some video of you telling sometime when you have a moment to upload a story.
If I may be so bold, I would like to mention another way folks can connect with storytellers. I am a long time member of the Storytell listserv. It is a wonderful community of storytellers, both beginners and experienced, from around the world.
I know you are a member Eric but if anyone else is interested in joining they can go to http://www.twu.edu/COPE/slis/storytell.htm for instructions on how jump into the ongoing conversations.
On another note, this week I posted a Native American legend, The Maiden of Deception Pass, on my blog. If anyone would like to read it they may go to www.karenchace.blogspot.com
Thanks for the comments and setting up the photo section! And thank you so very much for your wonderful podcast! One day I hope to listen live - but for now I listen as I cook dinner or do laundry! I can't wait to hear Mary Jo Huff's discussion. I particularly thought that the street storytelling podcast was very interesting. Thanks again for reaching out to the storytelling community - I for one am very grateful!
