I. SEPTEMBER IS COMING FAST
Our upcoming diamond anniversary.
Can you believe we’re already halfway through the summer? And we still have so much to do to prepare for our upcoming 10th anniversary in September. It is shaping up to be something special, and we can’t wait to celebrate it with the best audience in the city: you!
As we’ve explained many times before, we do workshops leading up to each event to help performers with their stories. We’ll soon be posting information about our 2024/2025 season that includes all dates for workshops and events.
We’d love for you to share a story on our stage! Here are some ways to engage with us online and how to participate in SWDT events:

II. SWDT PODCAST
Endings and beginnings.
As we mentioned in the last newsletter, we finally got around to putting together a new season of podcast episodes. We just posted the last one and we’re so incredibly honoured that all these incredible people allowed us to showcase their amazing stories. But, as one thing ends, another begins. We have some fun plans for the podcast that will help celebrate our 10th anniversary. So, listen to the rest of this seasons’s episodes below, and keep refreshing that feed for more to come before the summer is finished.
The Stories We Don’t Tell Podcast has over 150 episodes. Each episode includes a live story recorded at our event and a brief discussion about storytelling. We have also done mini-series about the art of storytelling and writing, dispensing some tips and tricks we’ve learned after working with people and their stories for 10 years.
Here are the rest of the episodes for this season:
Episode 150 - Translations: Alena shares a story about a relationship slowly breaking up. Paul and Stefan talk about how to translate a written essay into a performed piece.
Episode 151 - Twist Endings: Abdallah shares a story about a very unique cactus plant. Paul and Stefan talk about how to make effective use of twist endings.
Episode 152 - Editing Revisited: Jingshu shares an incredibly heartfelt story about her grandfather. Stefan and Paul revisit one of their favourite, and often overlooked, topics: editing.
Episode 153 - Universal Stories: an impactful and beautiful story that is about a relationship between a mother and daughter, and so much more. Stefan and Paul discuss how to write about big ideas through personal stories.
Episode 154 - A Trip Around the World: Chris shares a story about travelling all around the world to find out what home means to him. Stefan and Paul discuss how to bring together a lot of shorter pieces to make one unified story.
