Welcome to the Heard Storytelling podcast, where we celebrate the transformative power of spoken storytelling. Join us for intimate conversations with storytellers from all walks of life, as we delve into the personal journeys that led them to share their stories and the impact that sharing had on their lives.
We also examine how these stories affect the listener, fostering empathy and connection, and inspiring positive change.
A new episode is released each Monday. In our longer episodes, a storyteller shares their personal story, followed by a discussion with Caroline and Colette. Our shorter Briefly Heard episodes, offer a story from the Heard story bank with insights into its crafting and the collaboration behind it.
Join us as we explore how spoken storytelling helps us connect with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Get ready to be moved, inspired, and challenged by the depth and authenticity of these true spoken tales.
