This episode was recorded in the cozy library at All Saints’ Church in downtown Windsor. It usually has the advantage of being quiet, intimate, and full of actual books, however today we shared the hallway with excited folks from the Arts Collective Theatre (ACT) company which also rents space from All Saints’. It’s all part of being embedded in the lively Windsor-Essex arts scene!
Josef Bastian, the Detroit-based creator of the Folktellers universe brings his media partner Steve Sadler to talk about their unique trans-media project around Josef’s fantasy series, and the first book in the series, Excerpts from an Unknown Guidebook Book 1: Phases of the Moon.
Joseph F. (Josef) Bastian is an award-winning, master storyteller. He's spent the past 25 years helping people tell their stories, specializing in broad-based international workforce development, corporate learning programs and public education initiatives.
