🎧 What We’re Listening To

Writing and producing audio dramas means we’re always listening to them, too — so we thought it’d be fun to start sharing some of our favorites.

First up: We LOVE ‘Sorry About the Murder’.

This might be as close to a perfect audio drama as you can get. It’s funny, smart, suspenseful — and we’re not ashamed to admit we binged both seasons faster than Chieficer Dougie could polish off a dozen glazed from B&T’s DNS.

The writing, acting, and sound design are phenomenal. We’re in awe. Go listen and see why!

New Micro Monday! Just for YOU.

This week we're heading to fair Verona for the wonderfully weird and wild short comedy, The Balcony by Allison Page.

It was performed for us by the incredibly talented Tonie Knight and Joe Llorens.

If you've ever listened to the very end of our podcast, you know that we're based in Austin, Texas -- the Texas Hill Country.

We’re heartbroken by the devastating flooding that has taken so many lives here in Central Texas. Our hearts are with our neighbors, friends, first responders, and all those grieving the most unimaginable of losses.

There's a lot of people with big opinions on Texas, but know this: it's one of the best places in the world because some of the kindest, most compassionate people in the world live here and during hard times like this, there's no place we'd rather be.

💛

It's Micro Monday!

Let's claw our way back into the post holiday rhythm with a short and sweet micro comedy.

This week we've got the super funny short comedy, HISTORY IN THE MAKING, by Clinton Festa.

Clinton is a favorite around here, so if you need more comedy to cure your case of the post-4th Mondays, check out his other hilarious episodes: Picky Zombies and The Experience.

Happy Monday from all of us at Stories Found!

New episode!

This week we’re excited to bring you the very first Best Of Stories Found episode!

Throughout the season, we’ll be revisiting some of your (and our) favorite stories — fully remastered and presented in our new format: the story or play at the top, followed by a behind-the-scenes interview with the storyteller/playwright.

We’re kicking it off with the hilarious story: 5 Calls by Ladislao Loera

Ladi isn’t just funny, charming, and a skilled storyteller — he’s also the Artistic Director and a Producer for Testify, Austin’s live storytelling show. Truly the best of the best.

This story still makes us laugh every single time we hear it — and Ladi is an absolute blast to hang out with. Make sure to check out the episode and let us know what you think of the new format!
