Wrapping Season 1 and Plans For Season 2

May 3, 2024 / TUAS-2

First, a huge thank you to all the amazing people who shared their stories with us for the first season of Tell Us A Story. I hope you found them as thought provoking listening to them as I did producing them.

We are going to put a bow on this first season and call it done. It was a wild ride getting those first shows to you. Some times we were posting an episode and looking for a new guest for the next show in two weeks. That does keep things exciting as a producer.

We are currently in conversation with potential guests for the second season and are beginning to schedule recording sessions.

Our goal is to have the next season fully scheduled before we start releasing the new shows. Keep an eye on this website for more details as to when the next season will premier.

Until then, you can take second listen to your favorite episodes or catch up on any that you missed right here.

Don’t worry, more episodes are planned

Tell Us A Story is Live!

December 5, 2023 / TUAS-2

At 5 am this morning the first full episode of Tell Us A Story with Athar Rafiq dropped (as we say in the business).

Then I sent an announcement out to a small list of people to begin to spread the word. That was nerve wracking, but it is done.

The journey has begun, I am excited to be sharing these stories with you and look forward to your feedback and suggestions.

Production has started!

This is a quick update to say that we are now actively recruiting participants and have even recorded the podcast’s first story.

While we are keeping the content secret for a little longer we expect to roll out the first episodes before the end of the year.

Stay tuned…

The Beginning

February 11, 2023 / TUAS-2

What is this and why are we doing it?

There is very little doubt in my mind that the best way to get to know someone is to listen to their stories. The stories of their life experiences and the stories that shaped who they are in this moment.

Sometimes those stories will bring us together as we realize that our own experiences are not completely unique and that we have a shared bond with another human being.

Other times those stories open our eyes to a would that we did not know even existed. We may discover their are opportunities out there that we never imaged. But is it also likely that we may learn about the lived experience of another that is totally foreign to our own and in the hearing of that story our empathy and compassion towards others increases.

As of this writing we are still in the preproduction phase of this project, but it is not to early to get involved. If you have a story you would like to share or can recommend someone we may want to contact please let us know using our information form.

Please also note that this website is still under development. Things will change and be more fully fleshed out over time.
