We define a taboo story as something you would never EVER talk about at the dinner table. Even after a few glasses of wine.
Society has made the rules, and our mission is to break them because we honestly believe: The more we all talk about how f****d up we are, the more normal we all feel.
Since establishing our stage show in 2010, Taboo Tales has covered everything from living with HIV to being born without rectal muscles to blindness to being forty and lonely. One requirement is that all stories be funny. Laughing about life is the key to letting go. This podcasts brings storytellers off the storytelling stage and into the studio for a story and discussion.
Taboo Tales and this podcast are produced by Corey Podell, Laurenne Sala, and Jeff Payne at Eleven studios. Find out more at tabootales.org

68 - Joey Terrill & the naked hippie
Spawn Ranch, San Francisco in the 70's, New York City in the 80's, activism and community organizing in the 90's, and art shows and storytelling in the present make Joey a busy boy! Joey Terrill refers to himself as the "Chicano Forrest Gump" (with a higher IQ) because he's truly experienced it all. We love Joey and are so excited for you to hear his story.

Customer Reviews
I might be Corey's brother
I might be Corey's brother but I also love this podcast. The stories are all incredible and the interviews make it that much better. I whole heartedly suggest if you like story telling, you better subscribe to this podcast. Keep it up, you're doing great, and GO WITH THE FLOW.
Great stories, hosts don't overwhelm the guests
But the sound quality on some of the episodes is terrible (so quiet I can barely hear it). I think it's better in newer episodes.
Addicting and relatable!
I LOVE this podcast! It's so refreshing to listen to something that is so vulnerable and real. It makes me think about my own life and things I am afraid of admitting. And it's just super entertaining. Keep it up!
