Listen to Your Mother

Welcome to the York Story Slam podcast, where we feature select stories from our monthly open mic storytelling events in York, Pennsylvania. On May 16, nine storytellers shared their stories with our audience at Archetype Pizza in downtown York. The theme for our May story slam was LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER. We heard stories about Ouija boards, the power of a good nap when needed, and our mothers’ often outsized influence on our lives. In the end, we had a tie. Our first winner was Scott Blanchard, who shared his story about a mom’s ability to find anything – and his mom’s sage advice about perseverance. Scott earned a spot in our Grand Slam in November. Our second winner was Doc Yoder, with his story about the power of written stories when his mother’s memory began to fail. Doc also earned a spot in our Grand Slam in November. Our final story on this month’s podcast comes from Mina Edmondson, who shared her story about a time not to take advice from her mother. All the winners from this year’s open mic story slam events will return at the end of the season to compete for the title of Best Storyteller in York at our Grand Slam.
