In this Griddlesode, Ron describes being scammed and the lessons that he learned through the experiences.

Griddlesode S14-001: Who Knew Storytelling Could be so Dangerous?

Posted by Ron on Jun 3, 2019 | 1 comment

In 2008, on Griddlesode S4-001, I told the story of my unfortunate road to surgery after breaking my finger playing basketball. I called that story, Paperclip Pinky.

Eleven years later, I have another injury story for you, but rather than hurting it while playing sports, I suffered it while…storytelling. How did I do that, you ask? Well, sit back and listen to a story that I call, “Who Knew Storytelling could be so dangerous?”

The Music in this Griddlesode came from the Kevin MacLeod of incompetech.com. In order of appearance art:

I just want to thank all my longtime listeners. You are the reason that I keep producing this podcast…albeit infrequently. If you need a dose of me, though, checkout my work at storyhow.com, where I teach the techniques that I use to tell stories. I’ve also published a new book called The Proverb Effect. And yes, it too is written as a story.
