There is an email link to contact me directly on the bottom of the right hand index. Some overseas storytellers and storytelling presenters have found email to be blocked by spam filters. If you wish, you can also reach me at ericwolf2@yahoo.com.
Can you send me a flyer or other materials?
Here is a link to a PDF to a simple menu of my story material.
I want a quote for your services or How much do you charge?
I would be happy to give you a quote. I need to know the following information: distance traveled, days performing, population served and types of stories requested.
How do I find episode x?
Click on the past show link on the top of the page then choose the posting from that page – when you arrive on the page, press the play button.
or Click on The Art of Storytelling Podcast Episode list in the post categories list in the center of the right hand index.
or click on the Archived Show Link on the top right of the page.
Would you interview me? Or I should be on your show.
Well – yes. Somebody should interview you – but I have a great list of guests I am excited about interviewing for the show. If you are interested in working with media, here is my cheat sheet for connecting with any media person.
Eric’s short list of getting written about, talked to or invited onto a blog, magazine or podcast.
1) Write that person and tell them you liked x about their finished material. Do not offer negative feedback of any kind.
2) Check and see if they have a blog and leave a comment about what you read on the blog.
3) Wait a week and write that person a 2nd time telling them what you liked about the work they are doing.
4) Leave another comment about what you read on the blog.
5) If you have a website, add them to your link page.
If you have a blog – write a post about them and link to their material.
6) Call them a day later and tell them about your most interesting project or performance.
During the conversation I ask them about their upcoming list. (You have read their list of upcoming guests, haven’t you?) After listening to them talk about their passion, suggest a marriage of passion into a show/article/blog posting about your passion or project.
7) Send them a note thanking them for being on the show.
Loved your site, but you misspelled x and it turned me off or too bad about all the typos.
Well… if this means that you are volunteering to edit my future written work GREAT! Honestly though, I get really tired of people pointing out to the dyslexic guy that he spelled whatever. If I were blind you, wouldn’t tell me my taste in clothes sucked and that my clothes didn’t match.
Loved your site, - you misspelled x.
Thanks – for skipping the guilt trip please feel free to send me any misspelling or grammar issue you see.

An ipod is only necessary to listen to the show away from your computer and you can also use various mp3 players as well.

Love your padcasts, just found out about them. The few I’ve listened to so far have been very helpful.
Just a note: your latest one about Empowering teachers to use storytelling with Elizabeth Rose, can’t be downloaded for some reason, either on your site or through i-Tunes. I’d appreciate if if that could be fixed. As a retired teacher who tried to get storytelling into my teaching, I would love to hear her thoughts on the subject.
Thanks

Sorry about that - i fixed it. Posted the mp3 file in the wrong place.
Write a comment if you like the episode.

Looking forward to listening to it. However, I just found your site, so I have a lengthy backlog of past interviews to go through. Not quite sure when I’ll get to this one. You’re doing a great job. As a relatively new storyteller it is somewhat humbling to see how far I have to yet to go. But I’m sticking with it.
Side note: I have your podcasts linked to i-tunes. I get all of them as they are released. Is there a way to RSS feed your Blog so I can get your blog entries also on my RSS feeder. I can do it on my blog, http://www.hdhstory.net/Storyblog so wondered if yours had that capability. It seems I can only get an RSS feed on the comments section of the individual entries on yours.
