    Dad Tell Me A Story Episode 8

    This week's story I didn't have any plans. I did it live! No notes. No ideas. No plans. I just told my story. I closed my eyes and there was the story. I went a little bit over because I didn't want it to be end! I died on some hills. I shared my favorites. I know I made some people mad. I fawn over heroes. I share my thoughts with you. If you have a story idea that you want to share with me, email me your ideas to Dadtellmeastory@gmail.com. Thank you for listening. Please Like, Subscribe and Share, Leave a comment, It will help me make a connection with you beyond my story. See you next time.

    Dad Tell Me A Story Episode 6

    Welcome to another episode of Dad Tell Me A Story. This story was an indulgence. An old friend of mine and I discussed our history of LARPing together and brought up some old memories. Everyone does a vampire story. So I did one. I've written them before and I actually grossed out some people reading it in an open mic night. Not this story. It has a few characters that I might want to revisit some time in the future. Let me know if you want to hear more from this story or it's characters. Thank you for listening to my story.

    Dad Tell Me A Story Episode 5

    Thank you for listening to my story. This story was a story that I started when I was 16 years old. I played with it when my kids were younger and I was telling them stories before bed. This one was a darker story. I wanted to try to go with something else this time. I wanted to explore a kind of "What if..." scenario. I liked this one. This one doesn't have any voices, just "Dad-effects." Let me know if you want more like this. Thank you for listening to me tell you a story.

    Dad Tell Me A Story Episode 4

    Episode 4 is late. I know. Life happens when you least expect it. This time my story has a twist. Arthur C Clarke once said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." What happens when a person from the future is sent to the ancient past and his technology isn't magical? This story is epistolary, a story told in the form of diary entries, letters, or other documents. These are fun. Shamelessly plugged for likes and subscribers! Thank you for listening. If you have an idea for a story, send me an email: dadtellmeastory@gmail.com. One of my friends sent me the idea for this story. So please, if you have an idea for a story, character, or voices you want to hear, send me an email!

    Dad Tell Me A Story Episode 3

    This time it's a scifi story. I try some voices, an alien language, and do some shameless plugs. Tried a new gaming headset to record after last episode. I like it better. Please, Like, Subscribe, and Share. If you have an idea for a story, send me an email. I'll use your suggestion and give you a shout out for your idea. Thanks for letting me tell you a story.

    Dad Tell Me A Story Episode 2

    This time I decided to change it up. I tell a story involving three of my characters from Dungeons and Dragons. My three brothers; Alex, Darek, and Jared. Just a quick adventure trying to get some voices together. Like I said, this is just me and no editing. No sound changes. Let me know what you think. See you next week!
