I'm So Glad You Asked

I’m so glad you asked is a storytelling podcast hosted by Mary Kruse (@mtheresafaith31), a Chicago based artist and story catcher.

What started out as a desire to hear the untold stories behind the women and friends in her life has developed into a beautiful space for all individuals to safely share the stories that shape them.

I am so glad you asked: Everyone has a story and I want to hear yours.
