A Stoop Duet

Stoop Storytelling Series

The Stoop Storytelling series, founded by Laura Wexler and Jessica Henkin, asks ordinary people to share extraordinary moments in their lives. Their tales are strange, inspiring, and true.

Today we share two such stories. Chijioke Madugwulike bravely recounts the painful loss of his father, and Rebecca Ward shares why it’s important to take risks.

There are two Stoop events in October. On October 10th, at the Mansion at the Maryland Zoo, storytellers will share stories to raise funds for the nonprofit Pressley Ridge. On October 24th, at the Senator Theratre, storytellers will share on the theme, "Twilight Zone: Stories about everything from the supernatural to the super weird".

Sheilah Kast is the host of On The Record, Monday-Friday, 9:30-10:00 am.
Maureen Harvie is Senior Supervising Producer for On the Record. She is a graduate of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and joined WYPR in 2014 as an intern for the newsroom. Whether coordinating live election night coverage, capturing the sounds of a roller derby scrimmage, interviewing veterans, or booking local authors, she is always on the lookout for the next story.
