Narratively Speaking is a different kind of podcast.

I'm not trying to give any answers, and don't even pretend I have any -- I'm just following an original train of thought and seeing where it leads us. It's the kind of stuff you think about on the bus, or in the shower, but rarely write down or talk to your friends about.

Got a story to share? Hit me up in the comments. I'd love to get a conversation going.
