Spinning Tales
Step into a space where two friends uncover a simple but profound truth: we are all living, breathing stories still being told — and each of us carries a storyteller within. Together, they spark creativity, craft new worlds, and invite you to see your own story in a whole new light. This podcast (maybe) is more than just "writing exercises", it’s a vibrant lens to perceive, understand, and communicate the world in unexpected, meaningful ways. Join the journey — and discover the storyteller in you.

Title Vibes | Spinning Tales EP 22 31.05.2026 43:15

Setting the Scene - Spinning Tales EP 17 08.03.2026 37:48
In this episode, our hosts do something Jes hates most: descriptive scenes. Join us for a short, frustrating experiment where we tell you exactly where we are… without really telling you where you are.

OC Beginnings: Season 2 - Spinning Tales EP 16 08.03.2026 50:46
In a return to form, our hosts create two brand-new original characters and throw them straight into the fire. Armed with 11 questions, they build entirely new people—then race to give them a world, a story, and maybe even just a little trouble in under an hour. And if you get attached, don’t worry. These characters are sticking around. We’ll be revisiting them throughout Season Two and putting th...

RE: Love - Spinning Tales EP 15 08.02.2026 58:25
Love is in the air... maybe. Maybe not. But it is for sure in this conversation.

OC's Part Three!: Deeper & Deeper - Spinning Tales EP 12 07.12.2025 1:07:51
In this episode, our hosts return to the characters they first brought to life—digging deeper into their histories, relationships, and the choices that shaped them.

Cloud9: The Perfect Day - Spinning Tales EP 11 23.11.2025 46:34
What makes a perfect day? That’s a big question—with more than one answer. Luckily, our hosts don’t have to worry about the details, they’ve got a game to do that for them. This week, the ladies dive into the indie game Cloud9 , cherry-picking their favorite moments, comforts, and delights to craft the ultimate fantasy fairy tale: a day of pure bliss in a world not too far from our own. ---------...
A Wild Jane Appears! - Spinning Tales EP 10 09.11.2025 1:24:24
It’s the first ever guest on the podcast! You have heard us say Jane’s name more than once this season and now you get to meet the legend herself! Jane invites our hosts into a story that is close to her heart; one that blurs the line between truth and imagination. Together, the three of them dream up a world where myths are just forgotten histories waiting to be rediscovered. ----- Other Projects...
Cozy Hats, Scary Stories - Spinning Tales EP 09 26.10.2025 52:12
This week’s episode is all about childhood chills and the things that once had us shivering under the sheets! From mean cousins to mean girls, our hosts unpack the fears that haunted them as kids and ask themselves as adults: “Scary or nah?” Join us for a few tricks and a little treat–complete with cozy hats and only a little trauma laughter between the shivers. ----- Other Projects by the ladies:...
The Story behind the Pins - Spinning Tales EP 08 12.10.2025 1:01:42
Our hosts are back on Pinterest (I promise it’s not sad this time)! Each one picks four images purely on vibe and aesthetic and then drops them onto a shared board. Now comes the fun part: finding the thread that ties them all together. It is aesthetic chaos turned into collaborative world-building. ----- Other Projects by the ladies: Jes's Other Channel, Taming Tales - https://www.youtube.com/ @...
Roll for Story - Spinning Tales EP 07 28.09.2025 51:20
This week we are inspired by Jake Pauwels from Roll for Sandwich; but instead of rolling for our lunch we will be rolling for our story! These tales are out of our hands and in the dice’s. With every toss, chance shapes the narrative, leaving our hosts to connect the dots on the fly. Join us as we chase down the who, what, where and “why oh why” of this week's tales! ----- Roll for Sandwich Creato...
"Fan" Fix It - Spinning Tales EP 06 14.09.2025 56:38
In this episode, our hosts take on a book that left them… less than impressed. Instead of just tearing it apart, they put their creative energy to work. Join them as they patch up plot holes, reshape flat characters, and weave in quiet foreshadowing that could have made the story sing. It’s part critique, part fanfiction, and part literary makeover as they ask: what would it take to fix this book?...
Pinned & Personal - Spinning Tales EP 05 31.08.2025 1:15:41
In this episode, the ladies return to Jes’s pin board — this time exploring a collage of text posts booby-trapped with emotional introspection, half-forgotten experiences, and moments that still matter. They unravel how these words echo the stories that shaped them, wandering through moments of hurt and hints of healing, together. ---- Other Projects by the ladies: Jes's Other Channel, Taming Tale...

In this episode, our hosts dive back into the original characters they created in episode three—this time, letting them loose to live entirely new lives. Each host has written prompts for the other, setting the stage for crafting character and adaptive storytelling. Will these familiar faces win us over in their new worlds… or reveal sides we weren’t ready for? A link to the prompts if you want to...
OC Build - Spinning Tales EP 03 03.08.2025 1:13:28
In this episode, our hosts take on the ambitious (and slightly chaotic) task of creating a person! With the help–or perhaps the hindrance–of Tumblr’s unparalleled “wisdom”, they each piece together entirely new beings, word by word, like a game of narrative Mad Libs. It’s chaotic, it’s creative, it's maybe just a little too much fun. If you would like to join in the fun, here is the link for the q...
Photo to Film - Spinning Tales EP 02 20.07.2025 1:42:07
In this episode, Brit and Jes pick a photo, hit record, and let their imaginations skip free. Think of it as storyboarding without the pens — just two friends crafting a sort of “oral film” on the fly; fueled by creativity, sometimes too solid logic, and plenty of distracted sidebars. They have taken the old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” as a personal challenge — and they’re determi...
