Since the Coronavirus prevented St. John's Storytelling from planning an in-person festival, they put together a podcast as a way to celebrate storytelling in the midst of catastrophe. Join Mav Adecer and Dave Paddon as they share stories of Home Out Of It, inspired by The Decameron, a set of stories from the 1300s that wove individual narratives of people fleeing The Plague.
