Who am I?
I'm a teacher, storyteller, and student of language and culture. I lived in Korea for 15 years and became a total folklore nerd. I read stories to my students and then to the public and finally on a podcast. Just completed 3 years of podcasting, and I hope to have many more. I started storytelling while doing my student teaching and I brought it along to teaching overseas. I've read hundreds of stories but still don't feel like an expert. But I am an enthusiastic fan of folklore and storytelling.
