25.12.15 • Rebellion – Angelica
Four short stories from assorted open mics we’ve held recently. Angelica discovers her rebellious side with her boyfriend. Then, Virginie recounts a chance meeting with a mysterious stranger. Finally, a mother and son get on stage to tell their stories of Christmas. If you’ve subscribed to our podcast recently, you may have noticed a problem downloading older episodes. We’ve fixed the problem now – so there’s now over 180 shows to enjoy at feed.stories.co.uk Merry Christmas, from all of us at Spark.01.12.15 • Infectious – Body & Soul – True Stories Live
Spark recently spent a few weeks working with the HIV charity Body & Soul, based just around the corner from one of our favourite venues: the Exmouth Market Theatre in central London.
Established in 1996, Body & Soul is a pioneering UK charity dedicated to transforming the lives of children, teenagers and families living with, or affected by HIV.
Here we present three true stories from the night. Whilst delayed by friends, Dexter discovers a love of the written word; next, Munya’s vacation in Cancún turns sour as soon as he boards a moped – and finally, Milton tells us how a new job led to a personal revelation…
Special thanks to Body & Soul and the storytellers for letting us release these stories to you, and to Jen Carpenter who produced the night with support from Gigi Hanna, Andy Bodle & Ian Barratt. You’re all ace.
