OMG Merrilee McCoy is magic! She’s the local producer of The Moth Melbourne StorySLAM events and in this episode we discuss all things storytelling. No filter! We cover what makes a good story to being vulnerable on stage to not relying on crap PowerPoint slides. And more. Oh and of course we discuss how she ended up producing events for The Moth. https://themoth.org/

I met Merrilee at a recent ‘Creepy’-themed StorySLAM and she really fascinated me. I like that she’s genuinely passionate about helping people to tell their stories. Find more of her magic at http://www.merrilee.me/ or https://twitter.com/mezzamac.
Thank you to Howler Bar in Brunswick, Melbourne for letting us record this episode in the official StorySLAM venue.
