Rick’s stories take audiences on a journey, from his days as a boy growing up on the farm, to working as an improvisor at The Second City in Chicago, to being an actor in Los Angeles. But you can’t take the farm out of the boy. He still owns a farm back in central Illinois, so Rick's a storyteller who worries about the price of grain! All of his stories are true… well, mostly true. “Rick Hall’s storytelling is spellbinding” – The New York Times

My Father Knows Best
This episode features a fine storyteller, Sean Ewert. When I heard him tell this story about his dad a couple of weeks ago, I knew I wanted him on the show. Sean is not only a top notch story teller but he teaches storytelling and co-stars in a cooking show on youtube. As a bonus on this episode, Laura and I will make an official announcement about an upcoming life changing event for us.

Christmas 1972
Christmas day 1972 I got the best gift I've ever gotten, a lesson about life from my dad.

Aunt Maude
My buddy Ty Fance is the guest storyteller on this episode. I always enjoy the way he weaves his stories. His story is about when he was young and would steal tomatoes from the neighbor's garden. When you get caught, it can be a pain in the butt, literally.

The Letterman Jacket
I thought getting a varsity letter on the official letterman jacket would magically make me one of the cool guys at my high school. It didn't quite work out that way.

First Kiss
When I was fourteen, my Baptist church youth group went to an event in St. Louis and on the bus ride home I learned to French kiss. I saw glimpse of heaven. It was a profound religious experience.

The Theater Ghost
I remember when I first heard the story about the ghost in the MacMurray College Theater. I thought, what a bunch of baloney. But coming face to face with the ghost late one night made a believer out of me. Then, for an extra treat, after my story we close out the episode with a song Laura wrote about an abandon carnival. Happy Halloween everybody.
Customer Reviews
Love these homespun stories
These are much needed stories! I love listening to Rick’s articulate, humorous stories. It’s especially fun to hear his banter with Laura. Keep the stories coming!
Love Rick's Show! Love Rick's Stories!
This is the best podcast to ever teach me about pig farming. Okay, it’s the ONLY podcast to ever teach me about pig farming. But I digress.
Rick’s stories are wonderful. You’ll learn a little, you’ll laugh, you’ll smile at the charming banter between Rick and his wife Laura. Most of all, you’ll be reminded at the beauty and simplicity of a well-told tale. Highly recommended.
RICK is Righteous.
There is such an easy way that Rick Hall tells a story. It's like when a friend sits at the table and responds to "What's Up?" And the result is a wonderful tale. No message, no meaning, no agenda, just what was ordered. An anecdote for this click bait memey world. There is a saying about making something look easy.... it'll come to me right after I listen to this next episode.
