Last week I facilitated a conference call with Jo Radner and Teresa Clark the Board chair and vice chair of NSN. About a dozen people have expressed interest in listening to the results of that discussion and 27 people took part in the online conference call environment live.

I am sorry to report that the conference call was not recorded - due to a technical problem or a mistake on my part. I don’t really know why. This has never happened before, where a whole recording was lost, in any of the 60 hours of recorded interviews I have done so far, but – hey their is a first time for everything. I apologize if this is annoying to you – you have no idea how much annoying this is to me.

Just goes to prove my point that you will wish you were there live for the call. In any case, I hope that you will participate if or when we hold another open forum on the future of NSN.

Peace

This will be my last world map - I have recently switched hosted to switchpod and they do not seem to play nicely with my tracking provider podtrac. Just to be really be mean they don’t provide tracking abilities half as nice as this either. The sad reality being that I will no longer be able to provide detailed country by country counting for my international listeners.

With the hosting switch I am very interested if any listeners are having trouble downloading shows. Please leave a comment on this post if you have problems with downloads. Please include any error codes, computer(PC, Max, etc..), platform (windows, Lenex, Mac…) listening software (real player, quicktime..) Thanks.

Interview with Eric Wolf and Steve Otto recorded on Tuesday, July 17th, 2007.

Each level of development that storytellers go through has it’s pitfalls and limitations. How can we as storytellers avoid the pitfalls that have befallen those who gone before? In this discussion Eric Wolf and Steve Otto explore how we as storytellers can go to the next level in our practice as storytellers.

From beginners to experts, performers to marketers what are the most common ways that we accept our limitations instead of challenging them? How have others successfully risen to successful practice of storytelling? These are some of the questions that we look at in this hour long episode of the Art of Storytelling with Children Podcast.

If you are interested in how storytelling defines who we are. This article in the New York Times, that was published on Tuesday in the Health section, explores the role of story in a positive self outlook in life.

I highly recommend this article as a source for good arguments in why we do what we do as storytellers and how it can help children to have fulfilling lives.
