About this Podcast:

It may be true that the best things in life aren’t things…. Things have a way of holding onto the memories of some of the best things in life. Join me as I invite guests to share the stories of the Things that matter to them. Show & Tales was “born” in the backroom of Branded Saloon in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn a decade ago. 160+ S&T’ later I’ve never tired of listening to the stories of the THINGS that matter. About me: I’m a personal historian/visual artist who creates visual narratives from my client’s photo, document & memorabilia archives. In other words, I tell stories with other people’s stuff.I’m also an interactive story-sharing heartist who helps people create connections by holding space for them to share the stories of the Things that Matter. What photo or object do you hold dear? Building connections one story of stuff at a time.
