Stagebridge Storytelling Sampler
Produced by Nina Serrano (88 minutes audiotape: $9)

This audio cassette includes 12 diverse senior storytellers telling personal, traditional folk, and fairy tales with musical bridges. The many stories are gleaned from the Stagebridge storytelling radio series aired on KPFA-FM 94.1 in Berkeley, CA. It is an excellent companion to the book, “Pass It On!”

The Stagebridge stories document a way of life, of history,
of experience for listeners who have as much to
learn from well-crafted stories, as from the news.
— Susan Stone, Pacifica Radio

Need to Hear

Kandell…makes it explicit that to understand the past, present, and future,
grandparents must share stories with grandchildren.
— David Stein, San Francisco Examiner
