In case you missed it, here’s a link where you can listen to the creators being interviewed live by CBC Radio’s Alan Neal (originally aired Monday, Nov 10).

** Storytelling ** Travelling east to west, The Tale of a Town team are touring the country in their Storymobile (aka travel trailer turned mobile recording studio) to gather and record oral histories with independent business owners, local heroes, community stakeholders and neighbourhood residents.
