Human beings have made music and spun stories throughout our history on this planet. In many ways, these songs and stories tell us a lot about who we are, where we've been and where we are going.
Spinning Tales is a two hour weekly radio show that embraces both music--with an emphasis on archival early recordings and contemporary music performed in these traditional or "roots" styles--and stories ranging from the recordings of traditional storytellers to stories collected from local people.
In this day of multi-media presentations and multi-layered digital studio productions, we hope you'll enjoy this return to simpler fare; music often recorded live by a group of musicians gathered around a single microphone, stories shared over a cup of coffee with a neighbor.
