Snap Judgment #113: The Story

Series: Snap Judgment hosted by Glynn Washington
From: Snap Judgment
Length: 00:53:57

We've all got stories that we tell ourselves in order to get by. Sometimes they're rooted in truth, other times,not so much. This week, Snap Judgment examines inner storytelling and how we use it to make sense of the world around us. Read the full description.

Snap_the_story_113_240x240_small Indonesian Psychic Surgery:
Snap Judgment's Glynn Washington lets chance set his course, and follows a new friend home to his Indonesian village. All is well. Drink, discovery, and friendship reign - until Glynn deprives his host of the Most Important Thing of All.

Sisterhood:
Rita Daniels loved her sister. Really. She loved her. But they were two different people and sometimes people grow apart, right? Then Rita got the phone call no sister ever wants to hear.

Christian Polygamist:
Tejero's reading of Christianity demanded he practice "polygyny", the act of having more than one wife. And Tejero did what God told him to do, no matter what persecution it wrought. All he wanted was a community accepting of his beliefs, and his wives. He searched, and searched, and finally found the kinship he sought.  Be careful what you wish for.

So Embarrassed:
Jeff Greenwald loved everything about Tibet. The people, the food, and the breathtaking beauty captivated him. Tibet loved Jeff right back, granting him a backstage pass to areas no Westerner had ever seen. He almost fit right in.  Almost.

The Storyteller With No Voice:
What happens when a storyteller loses his voice? Stories burned on Joel's tongue, yet his mouth remained silent - even when he gambled on the biggest story of his life.
