StoryTown is stepping into the kitchen and jumping right back out with “Kitchen Disasters and Culinary Fails,” a new show full of hilarious tales about when the recipe doesn’t go as planned. We’ve got stories about a transplant from Turkey’s first trip to an American grocery store, tales of biscuits so hard they bounced, and potatoes so overdone they turned into a source of entertainment for campers!
Joining the Radio Show this month is Ryan Budds of Trivia with Budds. He’ll be giving the evening a gameshow atmosphere, complete with prizes for correctly answered trivia questions. Also joining the cast this month is storyteller Lynette “Lyn” Ford and the Jimmie D. Band. The Jimmie D. Band always get the audience up and dancing with their rock and blues mix.

Real stories, real people. This storytelling program is filled with true-life adventures of people past and present from Jonesborough, Tennessee, and the surrounding Southern Appalachian Region. Each program presents stories built around a common theme. All of these stories, which are collected from the hills and hollers, and sometimes up in the Mountains of East Tennessee, are scripted into a show that explores the culture, heritage, and history of these diverse voices. Home to the town of the first Abolitionist Newspaper in the Country. Home to the state that made Women’s Suffrage a reality. Home to Warner Institute, training Freedmen and Women as teachers beginning less than a decade after the end of the Civil War. Surprising, heartwarming, and often hilarious stories of the independent East Tennessee people come to life in this podcast with a voice and accent that can be found nowhere else.
