OFFSEASON: From a Hotel Room at PM16

Just a quick show update from Podcast Movement 2016. If you're new here, welcome! Here is what The Storycast is all about...

OFFSEASON: Short Storycast #1

SUPPORT STORYCAST SEASON TWO

http://support.storycastpodcast.com/

We’re taking a break before launching season two this fall. So, if you’re new here, welcome... this is not a usual show... So feel free to go back and check out season one. In the meantime, for the rest of you, I’ll be posting a short tidbit every Friday to tie you over.

Our theme for this off-season is "The Stories of Summer"... So check back every week to hear a song that tells a remarkable tale that one way or another elicits inklings of Julys and Augusts. And the songs you’ll hear are all outstanding covers by amateurs of some level who posted their version online...

COVER: Paulina - "Title and Registration" (Death Cab for Cutie)

016: "Ringing True"

SEASON ONE FINALE! Rings are everywhere in this life. From the formative to the everyday, you may be surprised just how often a ring surrounds the ideas, moments, and semantics that we encounter everyday. Rings all around us tell the stories of us... First, The Champ who lived a life even more impactful outside the ring. Next, the true story of a little boy who learned that a ring to the operator would always find the information he’d need. Finally, how Saltwater Brewery is changing its rings to protect the sea.

The Storycast will return for season two in fall 2016!

Tales of the powerful force -- mechanical, conceptual, or otherwise -- that drives us. First, how Thomas Edison had his hand in the first ill-fated electric car of the early 1900s.

014: "All Bottled Up"

We get to the root of the idea of being "bottled up," in a variety of ways. First, a flight-attendant-turned-folk-hero lets off some steam... we go straight to the source to uncork the plight of the cloud-based workforce. Next, the town of McCloud, CA, and its tentative balance on the cusp of growth. Finally, how Ben Howard's upbringing bottled up his unique sound.

013: "From Whence We Came"

There are few things shared by every single human being on the planet who ever lived... and one of those precious things is having someone to call "mom." In a world where we spend so much of our lives figuring out who we are and where we are going, we all know precisely where we came from and at least most of us know the woman who made it all possible. First, a mother from the past employs a little ingenuity and persistence to help save her sons' lives. Next, a modern day mother's take on the plight of the "working mom." Finally, our future according to Mother Earth.

012: "Growing Green"

It’s something overlooked and underappreciated, yet so embroidered into our day-to-day existence and collective colloquialisms that once we go that extra yard to realize its true impact, those blades between our toes may just feel softer, and stronger, and more mighty than before. But, grass isn’t really about grass. It’s about growth, and wonder. We explore the lawn dilemma, growth through loss, and green of an illicit context.

011: "Never Give Up, Never Surrender"

For as much as we try and try again, we sure give up a lot too. When we are faced with failure, the decisions we make actually seal our final fate. First, a struggle against all odds in outer space. Next, a professional baseballer quits, but just so he doesn't have to give up. Finally, a fairy tale of perseverance from the animal kingdom.
