    Episode 165: 10 Year Anniversary Series - Paul & Stefan - Part 2

    Stories We Don’t Tell is celebrating our 10 year anniversary and to mark this, we have put together a special 10 part series. We picked ten people who have told stories with us, one person from each year, and interviewed them. We really do attract some incredibly interesting people and these interviews do not disappoint. This is a companion piece to the previous episode in the feed. After Brianne interviewed Paul & Stefan about their 10 years of producing SWDT, we thought it would be good to include some of our stories. So, Paul picked his favourite story that Stefan has told, and Stefan picked his favourite story that Paul has told.

    Stories We Don’t Tell is celebrating our 10 year anniversary and to mark this, we have put together a special 10 part series. We picked ten people who have told stories with us, one person from each year, and interviewed them. We really do attract some incredibly interesting people and these interviews do not disappoint. We went in wanting to know the interview subjects’ relationship to storytelling, why they chose SWDT, and hear about their experience performing at the event. But, those were really just a starting point and each interview took on its own life and really became a very insightful and revealing look into our storytellers and our event. So, for each episode, you’ll get an interview with a storyteller and their story that was recorded live at our event. On this episode, the tables are turned and Paul & Stefan are interviewed by fellow SWDT founder, Brianne. We talked about the history of the event, side projects, Covid, and how things have evolved.
