Mark David’s “Stories & Reflections” Podcast

Award-winning author and master storyteller Mark David Gerson shares stories that entertain and inspire, stories that remind us of our shared humanity

We are all storytellers. Even when we don’t realize we’re doing it, we express ourselves in story. It’s one of the things that connects us, that make us human.

Long before our cave-dweller ancestors developed language, they were carving their stories into cliff walls and grunting them around the fire pit. And long before we were able to form recognizable words, our infant gurgles told the stories of our day.

Stories not only communicate our lives, they give meaning to our lives. That’s as true of the stories we hear as it is of the stories we tell.

That’s why I created Stories & Reflections — to share with you some of the stories that matter to me. Because if they matter to me, chances are they will also matter to you.

That’s the thing about stories: However personal they might be on the surface, whenever they’re shared from the heart, they are always universal.

I tell a mix of stories on Stories & Reflections: Some are mine — real or imagined. Some could be yours. As for my reflections, they’re as open-ended as my stories, touching on creativity, on life…or on just about anything.

But whatever I share, be it story or reflection, it’s always about me and about you and about what it feels like to be us…about what it feels like to be human in a complicated world.

My stories may not always begin with those magical words “once upon a time.” But they’ll be no less magical. Stories always are.

So join me today, and let’s step into that magic together. Listen to the latest episode here or on your favorite podcast platform.
