5. Discussion episode: faith in storytelling

In this episode we will pause from telling Bocaccio's Decameron, and instead we are going to hear from our storytellers. You will hear from Bob Jones, Abishek Nair, Celine Dirkes and Ania Upstill our first four readers of the stories you just listened to. In the first of our discussions, the four voice actors portraying the Decameronians come together to discuss building a community in a pandemic, and how our access to information shapes our reaction to traumas of all stripes. We will uncover parallels between a singular past and our shared present.
