The End of The Road

Season 3 – Episode 4

The Blue Hour

December 22, 2022

This podcast series features handpicked stories from the 2022 Storytelling Festival in Kennicott-McCarthy. The Wrangell Mountains Center hosted 3 days of grassroots storytelling that summer, featuring local and visiting storytellers. In this series we explore some of the magic of that in-person event.

Episode 4 features two stories from the west side during the twilight time of night as the light was starting to dim on that glorious evening in August at the Glacier View Campground. Folks began stepping up to the mic and sharing stories about sex, love, romance…and Justin Bieber. It was quickly dubbed “The Blue Hour.”
