The professional storytellers at StoryLink Radio, known as Seanchaí, are committed to bringing stories to Life through the spoken word as in traditional oral storytelling. We present stories of many genres... Ancient Myths and Legends, short stories, full length novels, science fiction and high fantasy, philosophy, traditions, drama, fiction, non-fiction, romance, theatre, ghosts & haunts, suspense, stories of the strange, and more! Our stories may be drawn from contemporary sources, or from some dusty near-forgotten tome. Regardless it is a treat like no other to listen to the stories & tales presented in a "live" format with the emotion and feeling a true professional storyteller brings. The Seanchai's job is much more than purely entertainment. The Seanchaí is the custodian of stories and traditions in need of preservation, and possesses the skill to ignore the inhibitions of modern day stifled conversations and instead focuses their attention on presenting those of us with keen ears - with the stories of the past, sometimes the present and, perhaps, even of what's to come. The infectious tones that we hear from their lips allow us to momentarily slip away from the modern day and very real world and conjure up images of Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Fantasy. So enter here, and let us be your Seanchaí for a time!

Some dates are just numbers. Others are invitations. Tonight, we gather under the long shadow of one such number—Thirteen. A number that, when it falls on a Friday, carries with it a legacy of caution, of mystery, and of dread. Superstition? Perhaps... Or perhaps.. a whisper from something older than reason? This original poem was written by Shandon Loring and Ossian Grey especially for Friday the 13th! ABOUT THE POEM • A mysterious speaker visited by an eerie presence tied to Friday the 13th. • Superstition, ghostly imagery, and an escalating sense of dread. • A haunting refrain with the number thirteen. • A final revelation that the Curse is less in the number and more in belief itself.

THE GREATEST GIFT A Christmas Tale by Philip Van Doren Stern Most of us know of the 1946 movie "It's A Wonderful Life" starring Jimmy Stewart, but many people do not know that these movies are based on a Christmas Card. In 1943 Philip Van Doren Stern decided to give the gift of words to his closest friends for the holidays when he printed up 200 copies of a story called 'The Greatest Gift' and sent them out as a 21-page Christmas card. In 1945, David Hempstead, a producer at RKO Pictures, purchased the movie rights. Tonight we present the original story that Philip Van Doren Stern gifted the world on that special Christmas in 1943. Please note that some of the names in this rendition have been changed to reflect the more familiar names of the characters in the well-known movie. We hope you enjoy. #christmas #itsawonderful life #jimmystewart #hope #story #original
