As a special pledge treat for our listeners today, we’re serving up a double scoop of stoop stories!
There's one from Dena about a childhood wrapped in rules … and from George Hopkins, about about the importance of being a role model and proudly taking up space. The next live stoop storytelling show happens at Checkerspot Brewing on April 9 at 7pm -- the theme is Battling the Elements: Stories about confronting the forces of nature!
