New Trinity Press book compiles 40 favorites from TPR's storytelling program Worth Repeating

Evidenced by the enduring success of storytelling platforms such as The Moth, StoryCorps and even the quick-fire PowerPoints of PechaKucha, it can be quite compelling to listen to everyday people sharing memorable, personal experiences — whether they're hilarious, heartbreaking or somewhere in between. In keeping with the spirit of those long-running programs, Texas Public Radio's live storytelling event Worth Repeating arrived in San Antonio in 2015 at the hands of journalist Paul Flahive, who lifted the concept from the Anchorage-based show Arctic Entries — itself essentially an Alaskan version of Baltimore's Stoop Stories.
