Podcast Q&A

Why did you start this show?

I love telling stories, especially spooky stories. I love to entertain and educate, and through this show I get to do both.

What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?

I want to leave my listeners entertained and maybe a little scared. I also want to spread these stories and keep them alive for the next generation.

Which episode should someone start with?

Episode 1 Lavania Fisher, is a great story from Charleston SC, that every tourist is told when they visit the city and it's total bs. This episode compares the legend and the facts as I knew them at the time, I keep going back to this story.

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

My favorite episode so far was the Episode I did with the band Midgard. I had been friends with the bassist forever and enjoyed their music, so having them be a guest was a major moment for me.

Which episode are you most proud of?

I think I'm most proud of The Graveyard. It's a story from my youth, and I still can't explain it. Was it paranormal or was it just some guy, even I don't really know, and I feel like that came across in the episode well.

What is your vision for your show?

To share stories from every corner of the globe to those who otherwise would never hear them. To connect people through legends and mythology from places they've only dreamed of visiting.

What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?

Demon Folklorist and Mortal Musings are probably my two favorite podcasts. Victoria is a friend and she is a very interesting speaker who gives a lot of good information. Neil and Megan are a great combination, there real life chemistry comes through in every episode, and the stories they cover are wonderful.

How did you come up with the name for your podcast?

I'm a Storyteller from South Carolina, so I looked it up and no one else was using it, so I claimed the name.

Tell us a bit about yourself

I am a disabled firefighter, who now works in safety. I spent 17 years on the job, before succumbing to C-PTSD. I have a BS in Emergency Management. I've written two books and a script for an audio drama. I have two almost grown sons who I am very proud of. They are smart and brave enough to be themselves even when the rest of the world might not accept them.
