Jim Tews, comedian/author/animator, joins us today to talk a bit about everything. ADHD, growing up a creative church kid, storytelling, comedy, and more. Jim's got a great perspective on what it means to tell a story, and we have a great time finding our way into a focused conversation about the differences and similarities between telling a story, and telling a joke.

Hi, What’s Your Name?
We had our first story slam event in over three years this last weekend and it was so truly incredible to be back at Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center for stories, community, and fun.
Our winning storyteller, Jessica Regan, shares a great story all about how sometimes you have to be bold enough to say hello first, often to a stranger. We can learn a thing or two from Jessica and her son. In fact, I wrote about it on the new Madison Story Slam website in a blog post here.

Distilling Community with John Mleziva of State Line Distillery
John Mleziva set his sites on being a Brewer, wait no…a brewer, lowercase B; but after a stint in Scotland, John was beguiled by the great mistress that is whiskey and set forth on a path to found maybe the best distillery Madison, Wisconsin has ever seen, State Line Distillery.
John is a community guy, who is as passionate about State Line being a hub of community as he is about State Line producing the highest quality distilled spirits you can bottle. And if State Line’s recent Double Gold Award at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, awarded to their coffee liqueur made with beans from local coffee barons, Kyle and Gwen Johnson, says anything about John’s passion, you should visit the tasting room and experience the community that happens there.
