The VAMP Storytelling Podcast

We were cleaning up around the So Say We All office the other day when we came across the beauty from the vault we’re going to share with you tonight. We've always wanted to have a podcast, and after our first December show in 2009, we actually took a crack at it. The only problem was we had no idea what to do with it after we made it and then it sat on the shelf for the last 14 years. But today’s...

I know it’s only September, but if you’re familiar to Southern California, you can already feel autumn settling on our southern California landscape. The dirt is starting to smell louder, like boiled peanuts, the cactus flowers bloomed just on time and the bees came back, the crows are flying around like curtains around sundown; it’s a whole carnival. To help get us in the mood for that today, we’...

We just had a great time collaborating with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, producing a showcase of true stories created in response to their phenomenal Cecilia Alvarez Munoz retrospective, “Breaking the Binding.” It was so good in fact we wanted to turn it around and put it out so everyone who couldn’t make it in person could have a listen. It’s doubly cool if you’ve seen the retrospect...

We’re super excited for our upcoming show this Sunday, April 16th at Bar Lubitch in West Hollywood, and so to get in the mood for the drive and show, today’s stories come to you from our inaugural show in Los Angeles, “Midnight Strikes.” Featuring: Jennifer Corley Travis Lowe Kirsten Hernandez Shannon Kernagen Dustin Marquel And Sam DiSalvo

I couldn’t let February skip by without summoning up a show because February is our anniversary month. We turned fourteen this year to a packed house, another indicator that people are venturing back out into the post-quarantine world so it was a very happy anniversary indeed. So for today’s podcast, I have plucked from February 2013’s show, “Dirty Talk Vol.2” for your pleasure, featuring: David L...

We took a little break over the Holidays, because we had live shows to focus on, and Southwest Airlines stranded our Program Director, and families were knocking on the door, but we are back here in January with a full show for you done in one epsiode, from our January 2014 VAMP Storytelling showcase, "Are You Gonna Eat That?" featuring: Leon Deklebaum, Felix Flanders, Eliza Jane Schneider, Carlyn...

Today we’re serving up Part Two of, “Will It Fit?”, a charcuterie board of stories to keep your headspace zen. Featuring: Kaitlin Malcolm Michelle O'Neill Elizabeth Marro Mentioned in this episode: VoSD Trailer All Hosts

We have a delicious buffet of stories for you this month slathered across two episodes, heated up and served from our November 2018 live show, “Will It Fit?” It’s the perfect collection of stories to plug into your ears while you walk the dog around the block this Thanksgiving just when your uncle starts explaining how Jewish space lasers work. Featuring: Tiffany Cooper Tim Cole Rose Byler Brienne...

Now is our most beloved time of year, the spooky season. which in San Diego is not heralded in by falling autumnal leaves, but the all-powerful Santa Anna, The Red Wind, whipping out of the desert passes dry as a bone before smashing with gale force into the county. Wildfires turn into apocalypses, infants and animals refuse to be calmed, and we remember what Raymond Chandler wrote: “Every booze p...

From So Say We All in San Diego, welcome back to The VAMP Storytelling Podcast. It’s part two of the show we began last episode, “That’s My Jam,” featuring stories about the songs that shaped our lives, and   today features a bouquet of flowering  voices: Delia Knight, David Latham, Katie Haroff, and starting us off, Jennifer Stefnik with her story, “New Kids On The Block Rule!” Mentione...

Despite the passing heat wave, you can begin to smell the faintest hint of fall in the air, and that has us all so percolating with anticipation we wanted our next two episodes to reflect our excitement. So we’re going with “That’s My Jam,” a great show all about songs, hobbies, and obsessions that set the stage for big life moments. Featuring: Nas Helewa, Jennifer D. Corley, Leon Decklebaum, and...

Welcome back to The VAMP Storytelling Showcase on this late summer afternoon from everyone here at So Say We All in San Diego, California. We’re doing part two of “Neighborhood Watch,” today, with three storytellers hoping to wow you. Mentioned in this episode: VoSD Trailer All Hosts

Living in the manicured suburbs of Del Cerro–the Hillcrest of tomorrow I like to think of it as–has really done a number on me. I woke up here one day and realized I had become the guy who yells at cars that drive too fast, and sets out trail cameras to discover which local critter has been getting into the cat food. But the seedy underbelly truly reared its ugly head when I was introduced to the...

Support So Say We All during our annual summer fund drive: www.sosayweallonline.com/support Summer is officially upon us. Here in San Diego, we still haven’t the kind of flattening heat waves or exploding forest fires that wipe whole towns off the map like we have in previous summers. Considering all the other things going on in the country, it’s almost like California understands we’re working wi...
