Remember that game you played as a kid? Maybe you called it 20 questions... Or "Person, Place, Thing"… Or "Animal, Mineral, Vegetable"… It was the game of roadtrips and hiking excursions where one person would pick some thing, person, or place -- unique, interesting, or just all-together random... And the others would ask questions to finally discover what "X" is…
All season long, join Storycast as we discover a fascinating person, place, or thing each episode… And follow along to unearth the season’s theme to be revealed at the very end when all the stories have been told. It’s one part story, one part discovery, and one part mystery... But isn’t that really the tale of this life anyway? Join me, Russell Silva, for season three of The Storycast…. Coming to a set of earbuds near you September 30th.
