Listen to true stories or share your own at our open-mic storytelling competition! Tonight's theme…

NEW LEAF | FIRST-TIMERS: Prepare a five-minute story about a new chapter. Bold beginnings, fresh starts and the mess we had to leave behind. Whether you pack up your life to move cross-country, cut ties with a partner to find yourself, or woke up one day and chose a different career. Tell us what it takes to begin again and what still lingers in the rearview.

Show Starts: 8:00 PM
