“Tell Me More…” is a live monthly storytelling event in Norfolk, VA at the Push Comedy Theater, also published as a serial podcast. Each month’s show has a common theme to inspire the stortytellers, with an accompanying song. Since music is played for guests before, after, and in the intermission of the show, I offered to make playlists to fit each theme.

Come check out the show sometime, or better yet, apply to tell your own story. Find out all the details at TellMeMoreLive.org.
