This podcast series features handpicked stories from the 2022 Storytelling Festival in Kennicott-McCarthy - three days of grassroots stories, from local and visiting storytellers. This series explores some of the magic of that in-person event, from the Old Hardware Story in historic downtown McCarthy, and the Glacier View Campground on McCarthy’s west side.
The first story comes from Amy Holonics whose telling is a tribute to her father and their shared family roots in Hungary. She shares an experience from a time when life took her to the land of her ancestors where her father’s past was uncovered and an unfortunate twist of fate ends up having some unexpected happy consequences.
In the second story, we go from an unexpected family reunion in Hungary to a Florida Popeyes Fast Food Drive-Thru. This is a story from the lockdown, a pandemic parable, if you will, with a twist at the end. Emma Stimpson is trained in theater, so she was riffing off of the energy that night, and delivered an energetic performance of her story.
