Storyteller with Lisa Golden
Storyteller explores how and why we tell stories. From writers to musicians, therapists to architects, we are all engaged in building the world we live in through the stories we tell about ourselves, others and the world.
A podcast for the curious, host Lisa Golden interviews this wide range of storytellers to explore the nuance, beauty and quirky edges of how and why a story has been told, exploring how the way power, art, otherness and belonging continues to change across time.
