About

Hi I'm Jennie. I grew up in a radio studio and didn't pay any attention. Now I'm learning all the lessons the hard way, many years too late. It's a good story, so I'm telling it piece by piece, right here. Thank you for reading this!

A story ten years in the telling...

http://tellitanyway.com/2015/09/15/426/


Hello awesome patrons!  Episode 20 of Tell It Anyway is live. The show features two of my favorite storytellers, Greta Schwartz, who has a wonderful story about the worst parade EVER. Also Scott Johnson is on the program with a story about a really strange trip to the doctor's office long ago.


As for me, the story I tell this week is one that I've been "holding on to" for quite some time, which is to say, ten years. It's a simple story about meeting an awesome actor at the Emmys, but that moment has ended up being so impactful for Matt and me through the years. 


Anyway, thank you so much for you support, it is profoundly appreciated. 


Jennie!

Well hey! It's a brand new full episode of Tell It Anyway. This one features Herschel Bleefeld, Matt Flanagan and myself sharing stories about the "dog days of summer."


We're talkin' drunk chicken, hurricanes (not the kind you drink), summer jobs, and the Great Water War of 2013. 


Hope you enjoy!

Hey awesome Patrons!


Hope you enjoyed our Nerdtacular episode two weeks back, and our Sunday update yesterday.  


We're finally done with with travel and so we're taping a brand new Tell It Anyway tonight with the theme "Dogs Days of Summer". Because they are happening. 


That should go live mid-next week. But to keep you occupied THIS week, we've got an amazing new podcast that actually sprung out of a Tell It Anyway taping.  It's called "Hooray for Garbagetown" and its all about life as the working stiffs of Hollywood. Or as they are known "the Deal-less." The hosts are Jackie Vleck and Sarah Jean Kruchowski, and they are magnificent.  You can read a little bit more about how it all came to pass in the show notes, but I'm so proud of these awesome ladies!

I decided to cross post their introductory episode in the Tell It Anyway feed so you could all sample the magic & despair. Their first guest episode is up at Hooray for Garbagetown and features a screenwriting, swearing Jesuit priest. You don't want to miss it! 


Here's the feed address if you want to manually add it to your podcatchers (thanks Big Jim for the help figuring it out!)


http://www.hoorayforgarbagetown.com/feed?format=rss 

Their iTunes feed is under review as we speak. 


As always, any podcast that's not an official 3 person TIA is absolutely free for your enjoyment!


I'll be back later this week with another fun storytelling spinoff from veteran TIA storytelling Igor Torgeson.


Til then, stay cool!

It's a truly Nerdtacular episode of Tell It Anyway! This week, it's all fun and games until you burn your eyebrows off. Or your friend drops a pair of garden shears on your skull. And let's not even talk about the guy who burned down a DQ! 


It was so great to meet so many Patrons and friends of the show up at Snowbird. You make it all worthwhile. - Jennie & Matt

This week on Tell It Anyway, the perils of young love, the many downsides of being the DJ at your own wedding and that time Jennie almost got arrested. 


So many bad decisions!

It was supposed to be fun! That time Herschel had “fun at Disney,” Debi had “fun at a birthday party” and Jennie had “fun underwater.”

In my rush to publish Episode 13 last week, I forgot a title for the episode. This is something that makes iTunes very, very angry. For those of you who listen there, you may have wondered where the episode was... it should be fixed now. So in recompense, you get a free story from the archives. Here's a true Memorial Day story about the time Matt and I ate at three restaurants in one night. Because we're a-holes. :) https://medium.com/@jenniej23/a-culinary-three-way-64b2dce463e8
