The Director's Cut podcast shares stories that did not make the final cut for the live version of the StoryTown Radio Show. They're still great stories, though, and deserve to be shared. This edition is a little different. We kicked off the 2025 season with a special show at the newly reopened Jackson Theatre. Prior to the theatre’s grand opening, StoryTown gathered stories about the theatre from the people who grew up going to it. This story comes from Jimmy Rhein. To this day, Jimmy still lives in his family home and can walk to the theatre. We weren’t able to include his memories in the January show, because we had so many stories, but we wanted to share it here and now with you all.

A person could swim the length of the lake. That's a twelve and a half mile swim. This story takes you into the water as Jodi swims around obstacles and toward dry land, one mile at a time.
