Why We Still Remember "Star Wars" and King Arthur's Court (S3, #8)
Listen now
Description
In this episode we'll reflect on two stories that demand retelling. In each tale (from "Star Wars" to King Arthur), we'll see how the story is poised to continue through the intervention of a single storyteller.  In the sharing of the story, its meaning, values, and Truth continue to inspire and motivate those who stop to listen and tell again.
