WAFFLE-FREE STORYTELLING

(stories that explore life, the world, and the beautiful mess of being human...with the occasional "Wait, what?" thrown in)

The Story River Show (books and podcast)

...No waffle, rambling introduction, or debate on the impact of dinosaur pajamas on a good night’s sleep. That’s what Waffle-Free Storytelling is all about…The story and nothing but.

The tales are 3 to 17 minutes long and, except for a few traditional stories or ones delivered by one of my amazing guests, are written and told by yours truly (Tina Konstant).

The tales are all fable’ish, myth’ish, fairytale’ish, and entirely human (zero AI).

Welcome to the place where coffee breaks become mini adventures, headphones become front-row seats, and truth is told through stories.

THIS WEEK'S STORY

Welcome to this week's story from Waffle-Free Storytelling.

Most Saturdays, a new tale goes live. They all come from the thoughts, adventures, challenges, and observations of the week. Sometimes strange, always real.

Put your feet up, fill a mug with something delicious, and join me for a story moment.

Your fellow fabulist, Tina.

There's Life Between The Covers

Where the show is packed with stories and nothing but, there's life between the tales in the books. Between each story, find random recipes, storytelling games, weird facts, quotes, and other stuff and nonsense.

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”

~ Neil Gaiman
