This episode we discuss Secretly Ya’ll, a Richmond VA based storytelling event with one of it’s founders, Kathleen Brady. We chat about it’s history, the nuances of storytelling, and the myriad of reasons why people like to do it. We also review their latest event, “Secretly Y’all and Death Club Radio Present: Sick, Dead, Dying & Letting Go”, which was cohosted by Death Club Radio, a radio show on the local low-power fm radio station, WRIR 97.3 FM.

Secretly Ya’ll is an event of true unscripted storytelling. It is split into two halves with the first section featuring storytellers who pre-submitted stories that were selected, and the second half has a “name in the hat” segment, where you will get called up if they pull your name. The stories all have to be real, no notes, and 7 minutes or less. To find out more information on how to participate, please check out their website, www.secretlyall.com.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
