Telephone Tales Lisa Millward

- News
Let's get into it: the weird, the shocking, the fascinating, the terrifying, and all things in-between. Telephone tales is hosted by me, Lisa, because I love stories, especially true ones. I love reading them, watching them, listening to them, and re-telling what I can remember of them. The name was sparked by a humorous re-telling of a story a friend told me when I botched all the details. Basically, this is not an investigative or super fact-based podcast, but I do my best to get as close as I can to the truth.

Telephone Tales Trailer
Hi! Thank you for checking out this episode..err..trailer, aka, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I basically run down what I loosely feel this podcast is about, and reiterate several times that it's just for fun, and should not be taken too seriously or professionally. I love true stories & learning about people, and tend to side close to the dark and disturbing but also love a good embarrassing or "aww" moment tale as well. Feel free to check out the show's Instagram page (@telephonetales) to help answer burning questions and possibly tell a story or two of your own! There will be prompts, polls, and curious chats of course. I'd love to get to know your mind. Sub & Stay tuned for the first episode! see you then..Bye
