Episode #1 — The Welcome Table

Two stories about food sovereignty — Foster Cournoyer Hogan tells of his work as the Bison Coordinator at NDN Collective, feeding the people. Writer Matthew Miltich makes a bowl of soup.

North Star Lane is produced by Michael Goldberg, who lives in the woods of northern Minnesota and collects stories from his friends and neighbors. They tell stories about their connections – to place, to the past, to each other – and about things that are important to them. We think a lot of the same things are important to us all.

Call for Storytellers

What’s your story? We’re celebrating the art of oral storytelling — the every day way we all communicate with each other. For our new podcast, 'North Star Lane', we’re collecting personal stories about connections — to place, to the past, to each other. Stories should be 3–10 minutes in length, and can range in tone from funny incident to elegy and everything in between. Michael Goldberg is collecting the stories. Send audio to him — or a note to arrange a phone call or zoom — at goldberg.actionmedia@gmail.com.

Michael also produces live storytelling shows in Grand Rapids and elsewhere in the region. Let him know if you’d like more information about those.
