On this episode of the Apple Seed: Tellers and Stories, we’ll visit the 45th annual National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee. We’ll hear from some of our favorite tellers there (including Willy Claflin, Bil Lepp, and Josh Goforth) and also rub shoulders with festival attenders and report on the Fringe Festival, one of the oldest underground traditions associated with the Festival. It’s a trip to the premier storytelling event in the country, on one of the most picturesque main streets in America, on this episode of the Apple Seed.
