In a set of circumstances where male folly played out from the stage into real life, after our first ladies-only show last November, my producer, Brian, and I, managed to lose the sound file containing the recording of the show.

It was an epic show, and so, as a way to rectify the shitty situation, we reached out to all the ladies in that lineup and asked if they’d be comfortable having a one-on-one conversation, with me, Joe Tower, about their story, female folly, and how stories of folly play parts in their lives overall.

Now, one bonus episode per month will be a one-on-one conversation with someone who’s done our show – perhaps a storyteller that performed before we started recording the shows; perhaps a performer who didn’t feel comfortable with their story ending up on the podcast; friends of the show, enemies of the show; the performers, actors, writers, storytellers, comedians, and artists of every medium who have made the show what it is.

But, ladies first. And so, for your listening pleasures, I’d like to present our inaugural TALES OF MALE FOLLY ONE-ON-ONE!

From City Tavern in Culver City, this is my conversation with stand-up, storyteller, actor, and writer, JENNA BRISTER. Jenna is a 5-time Moth StorySlam winner, can be seen in the feature film, Permanent, and is the writer for the Lifetime made-for-TV movie, Killer Twin.

She is, without a doubt, a Tales of Male Folly MVP, and one of the coolest chicks I’ve ever known.

Most of the Tales of Male Folly you hear here are funny. But we’re a storytelling program, and it’s never been our mission to be a comedy show. Every once in a while we get a story and a storyteller willing to take the leap and tackle a tale of shame or embarrassment or the male gender that ain’t exactly a gut buster. It takes a special kind of performer to do this with any kind of comedic chop, and at out March 2017 show, stand-up comic Josh Mattingly did just that.Get more Tales of Male Folly:www.talesofmalefolly.comwww.soundcloud.com/talesofmalefolly
