Confabulation: The Podcast

Hi there Confabulation fans,

Just wanted to let you know that I haven’t forgotten you. Instead of postings stories monthly on their own, I’ve started experimenting with a new podcast. For Confabulation: the Podcast, I’ll be taking some favourite stories, mixing them up with interviews, conversations and monomaniacal rants about narrative and storytelling. It’s like the DVD special features to Confabulation.

I’ve got five episodes up right now, but here’s the link to the set of them. I’ll start reposting individual podcasts to catch you up on what you may have missed, and be updating this site with the new content as they come.

All our podcast work is done with the good folks at No More Radio. Check them out at Nomoreradio.com — they’re Montreal’s first podcast network! Also, I’m a co-founder of the station. So I’d love any thoughts you have on our work, or the podcast here.

Thanks!

-Matt

For Science! : Stories of discovery and genius

Confabulation is Montreal’s premier, all-true storytelling series. Every month, we bring you six (or so) true-life stories, presented by the people who lived them.

For February, that most calculating month, Confabulation is pleased to bring you FOR SCIENCE — an evening of stories around the theme of science, discovery, breakthrough and genius.

Now accepting stories about science gone right, wrong or mad, untrained people pretending to be scientists, and scientists as people — If you’ve got a story you feel fits, submit!

Feel free to email us at confabulation@nomoreradio.com, or through the Facebook group, or through the website, confabulationmontreal.com!
