Story Slam at State Fair

You can't ask for more than a great crowd, a balmy day, and some of the best storytellers in the Twin Cities. Recorded at the Minnesota Public Radio booth on August 23, broadcast August 24, 2008. The final broadcast version of the Slam features Curt Lund, Katherine Glover, Linda Lee, Gabe Heller, Dawn Brodey, Diego Vazquez, Holly Davis, Allegra Lingo and Sarah Martin, along with new songs from Jeff Horwich and The Smarts.
