Today on The Stump we have special guest Josh Campbell of the popular storytelling show Spillit Memphis which is having it's All-Stars event at Flyway Brewery on Saturday, May 9th.

The individual then gets 7 minutes (give or take) to tell their own story as it relates to the given night's prompt. At the end of the show the audience gets to vote on their favorite storyteller of the night. There are also Spillit Slams and All-Star shows where past winners return for a night of well-season, experienced storytelling that are sure to bring a sense of communal pageantry and entertainment. Join us as we talk about the origins of Spillit, why relatability is so important in storytelling, and why movies are getting longer to tell the same stories. Enjoy!
