Making Moves

Welcome to the York Story Slam podcast, where we feature select stories from our monthly open mic storytelling events in York, Pennsylvania. On January 20, nine storytellers shared their stories with our audience at The Hangar, recently relocated to the Grotto Community Center in the heart of downtown York. Our theme for our January story slam was MAKING MOVES. We heard stories about relocating, changing careers, and what to do when you have to start over. In the end, our winner was Mark Lentz, who recalled abrupt moves to escape a turbulent childhood home. Mark earned a spot in our Grand Slam in November. Our next story comes from Etta Sedit, who shared about her experiences interacting with Yorkers when she first moved to town. Our final story on this month’s podcast comes from Stephen Thomas, who told a story about visiting Arizona for a desert gardening project. 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. Updates on our events are available on our website, YorkStorySlam.com, and while you’re there, you can sign up for our monthly newsletter. You can also
