In this episode of Untold Stories, storyteller Augustus Wolfe Barnes reflects on the waves that have shaped his life—navigating school, experimenting with drugs, and searching for direction. Through humor and honesty, he shares how one small, unexpected moment—a stranger complimenting his Radiohead shirt—became a reminder of connection in the midst of life’s uncertainties.

 Augustus Wolfe Barnas is a multi-disciplinary artist pursuing job stability and happiness. He spends much of his time bartending on Main and Forsyth, making amazing cocktails for bankers. Whenever he is off work, he writes music with the band Nine Thousand Dog Attack/Wet Embarrassment. These projects explore the depth of hardcore and the joy of living.

Untold Stories is a live storytelling event. Each performance features five local storytellers from all walks of life telling personal and transformative tales from their own lived experiences.

Each performance is based on a theme, and they all connect back to the culture of Northeast Florida. Untold Stories is not an open mic night, but a theatrical event curated by Artistic Director Barbara Colaciello. Each story performance is carefully crafted, and with the addition of a musical guest, each evening is akin to a series of mini-plays on a theme, taking you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from laughter and tears to introspection and inspiration. The live Untold Stories series is recorded for a podcast hosted by WJCT Public Media.
