StoryShout: Real Stories of Failure & Connection
StoryShout is a weekly podcast, hosted by Kelsey Jones. In season 3 out in Summer 2024, we ask guests, "What's the weirdest interaction you've ever had with a stranger?"
In seasons 1 & 2 we asked guests "What do you suck at?" Answers have ranged from humorous, like interior design, to more serious career topics, like delegation.
