Storytellers Studio
We hope to bring you interesting people from all walks of life who have something to say. You'll find our chats to be unscripted and casual. True engaging conversation needs at least two things...curiosity and exchange. Much like a tennis match, the person on the other side needs to hit it back to you. Enjoy eavesdropping!
