The episode features stories from the March story slam themed around good luck and bad luck.

Our final story on this month’s podcast comes from Wendy Smith, who recalled a job interview experience from when she first moved to the area. All the winners from this year’s open mic story slam events will return at the end of the season to compete for the title of Best Storyteller in York at our Grand Slam.
