About this episode
Katy Schutte discusses her thesis on ghost stories and her work as an improv teacher.
Katy Schutte has finished her MA and it is good. The title of her thesis is: The Welsh Bed and Breakfast Ghost Story: How Ystrad House's Oral Family History Encapsulates a Broader Culture of Haunted Transitional Places. And it is a wonderful exploration of weird, eerie, legend, and ghosts. What she researches is just as neat as how she researched it. Katy is a wonderful improv teacher and more than the genre of improv - collective storytelling. What stories do we tell when we're not in control? Give this a listen. You will love it.
