Outside/In

Goats, Ghosts, and Roadkill [Live stories from Portsmouth]

Outside/In

Show Notes

A few weeks ago, Nate gathered a group of storytellers in front of a live audience in Portsmouth, N.H. to celebrate 10 years of Outside/In. From goats to ghosts and ill-fated coloring book pages, this motley crew of storytellers explored the theme of metamorphosis in a changing world.

If you’ve got a special moment or episode from Outside/In’s long history, we’d love to hear about it. Send us a note at [email protected].

Featuring Gretchen Legler, Kianny Antigua, Sara Lamagna, Jake Lewis, Aubrey Nelson, Dave Anderson
