Hello and welcome back to The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! It’s been a rough week for the planet... more and more separation, a changing world, then on a note close to home, my beautiful parrot died. As a result, I was stuck on what story to tell this week. I didn’t want to focus on sadness. The news does that for us every day. So instead, I decided to tell the story about growing into oursel...

Welcome to another glorious week at The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This Dog Bites is a cautionary tale... It’s about knowing how far you can push someone before they do something about it. So, sit back for a moment... put your busy-stuff away... relax... take a break from your life, and drop into someone else's. When you're done, you're welcome to browse around www.

Hello and welcome once again to The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast. Some people are born with a burning question. Finding the answer to that question can become a life long mission. Malika had such a question. When Stones Breathe is her story. So, it's time to take a break... get a mug of something lovely... put your feet up... and enjoy. When you're done, you're welcome to browse around www. Ti...

Welcome to The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This week's story was written after a bout of careful planning for something my hubby and I wanted to do. It got me thinking about all the times my careful plans have had to change, have not worked out, or have produced the opposite result! Which got me thinking about why that might be the case. Sometimes, no matter how meticulous our plans are...

Hello And Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! It's another glorious Friday, which means your weekly tale from yours truly is here. This story is about a rite of passage we all, in one way or another, go through. The journey is easier for some than for others. Status, wealth, family or history have, I feel, little to do with how well we fare. It's all about soul, courage, determination...

Hello And Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This story (written and told by yours truly Tina Konstant) came about after watching the American campaign trail (a special breed of madness), then following the UK's argument with the EU, and the EU's disagreements with the UK. Then the Conservative Party fighting with Labour, and Labour fighting with themselves. Then the global debate wi...

Here's another story written and told by yours truly, Tina Konstant. It's been a busy week, and at some point I had to ask myself whether things had got a little too serious. That's how "Narrow Escape" came about. My hope is we all manage to escape growing up just enough to remember how to have fun. Kick back and enjoy. When you're done, you're welcome to visit www. TinaKonstant.com and dig around...

Hello and welcome to The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Here’s another brand-new story by me for you... Now before you meet Gillimon, there’s a thing you need to remember. Just about everything we take as normal today, like deceit, lying, corruption, hate, love, desire and the misuse of power was, at some time in the history of the universe, a new thing. Everything had to be made. There is...

Well... with all the events happening in Davos this week, I couldn't help but tell this story. The world is a mess, but for as long as we have people fighting for selfless reasons, an honest outcome, and a real future, we have a chance. It's time to change the story we're telling ourselves. I originally called this tale "The Story Of The World... So Far...", but changed it at the last minute. I ho...

This is one of the first stories I told at GAS (Grampian Association of Storytellers). There are many versions of this tale. Most of them centre around an American Indian tribe.
