A Night of Storytelling



Speakeasy invites some of Pittsburgh's funniest storytellers to tell a true story while DJ Fadewell provides a real-time soundtrack. But when the story ends, we're just getting started. Host Alan Olifson (Moth, WordPlay) takes you behind the story, interviewing each storyteller to ask the burning questions you'd ask if you were sitting next to them at the bar. It's Late Night for the NPR set. 


This month's guests include: 



Alicia Wright is a South Dakota native who’s now searching for inspiration or at least a good iced mocha here in Pittsburgh. A lover of stories since she was young, Alicia works in the legal field but has in the past led youth writing workshops, served as an AmeriCorps volunteer, and spent one cheesy summer at Chuck E Cheese. She moonlights as an amateur tarot reader and astrologist for her friends and is looking forward to getting more involved in the Pittsburgh storytelling scene.





Pete Riddell is a full-hearted treasure hunter, noticer, and sifter of small moments, which informs his writing, storytelling, husbanding, parenting, friending, little brothering, youngest son-ing and learning-while-stumbling through this broken, beautiful world. He is the still, small voice behind Letters4Maggie.com, where he writes about the things he doesn’t want to forget.




Hosted by Alan Olifson
