The Music Played in His Head and He Began to Dance
Series: Radio Curious
From: Barry Vogel
Length: 00:29:00
Storytelling, like radio, brings pictures to the mind of the listener and allows each one of us to imagine what we hear. This week on Radio Curious we visit with story teller Mark Binder, author of “A Hanukkah Present: Twelve Tales to Give and Share,” who describes what happens when the storyteller vanishes.
I spoke with Mark Binder from his home in Providence, Rhode Island on December 16, 2011. We began when I asked to discuss the importance of story telling around Hanukkah and other holidays of the winter season.
The book Mark Binder recommends is “The Best of Myles,” by Flann O’Brien. His website is www.markbinder.com.
