One good story begets another. And sometimes, another. And another! It all started with a story about a piano. That story inspired more piano stories, which we captured in Episode 257 of Changing the Rules. But something unexpected happened when we finished recording. Our storytellers weren't finished talking! Fortunately, our alert podcast engineer sensed that something special was happening and left the microphones on. What followed was more than another round of stories. As our storytellers continued sharing experiences, they began discovering things about one another that they had never known before. And that's where the real magic of storytelling happens. Stories don't just entertain us. They help us understand one another, discover unexpected connections, and build friendships. Join us for an unscripted continuation of our storytelling adventure and discover what happens when the microphones stay on and the stories keep coming.
