Enjoy two short adventure stories, written and narrated by Andy Magness. His first story, Why Adventure Matters, is a personal essay on risk and parenting. His second piece was developed around the same time. It’s a true account of a father-son packrafting adventure on the Baptism River on the North shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota.
Welcome to the first episode in the storytime series. These will be off-the-cuff campfire style stories, narrated adventure recounts and essays. They’ll each be around ten to twenty minutes long and will be published every so often between regular episodes of the show.
