About Patricia Glyn Storycatcher

Simple stories simply told. These are stories of ordinary people in Southern Africa – housewives and husbands, sons and daughters. The mavericks and musicians, sailors and scientists, cooks and conservationists. There are two podcasts each month: Potpourri, a collection of short stories. And Insplorations which are longer and feature those who are living big and asking the big questions. I travel the subcontinent in my truck, my Kalahari dogs on the passenger seat, catching the strange, funny or sad stories suggested by my listeners. So my routes are not determined by game parks and scenic views but by Southern Africa’s creative, eccentric deep-thinking people of the heart. Please help me find them, find out more about our story tellers by visiting the website Or find us on all the socials https://www.facebook.com/PatriciaGlynStorycatcher https://www.linkedin.com/company/patricia-glyn-storycatcher/ https://www.instagram.com/patriciaglyn_storycatcher/ https://www.youtube.com/@PatriciaGlynStorycatcher https://www.tiktok.com/@patriciaglynstorycatcher
