Every once in a while we throw in a short storycast like this one — and, since we’re partial to the word “story” (you know, STORYcast, STORYshare, STORYbooth), and we are fans of parentheticals too, we’re just going to call them Story(shorts). Here’s our first one. It was recorded live at our Storyshare (May) at The Project Lodge in Madison. The theme of the night was “In Sickness & In Health.” Podcasts Sun, 06 June 2010 22:32:42 -0800 http://www.wisconsinstory.org/storycast.html http://www.wisconsinstory.org/podcast/Storycast_7.mp3 Storyteller: Sally Franson.

The inspiration for the Spring Green, Wisconsin charity 4 Pete’s Sake, Peter shares the story of his complicated relationship with his illness and what it has taught him about the meaning of identity, love, about his sense of community, and life itself. Peter’s Storycast also features four of his original songs — you can find more of Peter’s music at myspace.com/sabertoothman.

Our fifth Storycast is a record of our very first Storyshare Saturday Night in Madison at the Project Lodge. Billed as the “Cancer Stories...Benefit,” WSP was blessed with lots of great music from our friends Sound of Survival, and fantastic stories. We’ve picked the most Storycast-friendly stories of the night and smashed them all up into this Storycast for your listening pleasure. This Storycast also marks our first non-cancer episode, though one of our storytellers shares one of the more interesting side effects of his cancer experience. We hope to see you at our next Storyshare Saturday Night (hint: it’ll be on February 27th at the Project Lodge on East Johnson and the theme will be 'Lost and Found').

The Madison-based author of Cancer Is A Bitch; or, I'd Rather Be Having A Midlife Crisis shares two stories. The first is a strange coincidence -- having written a novel about a woman with breast cancer, she is then diagnosed with breast cancer herself, and her novel is rejected. The second is a surreal chapter from her memoir. For more on Gail and her work go to www.gailkonopbaker.com.
