OM DENNE EPISODE
Storyteller Owen Staton Just Rambles Really
Every now and then, I put the ghosts, legends, strange creatures and stories to one side and talk about something rather more frightening…
Myself.
In this episode of Time Between Times, I thought I’d do something I don’t often do. I thought I’d tell you a little bit about the person behind the stories.
Where I came from.
How I got here.
The things that have shaped me.
The places I’ve been.
The mistakes I’ve made.
The things I’ve learned along the way.
And perhaps most importantly, where I find myself today.
It isn't really an autobiography. I haven't suddenly become terribly important and started referring to myself in the third person.
There’s no great structure to it either.
I haven't sat down with a clipboard and carefully planned out my life in chronological order.
I just started talking.
So this is me, rambling my way through my own story. A few memories, a few reflections, some things I’ve never really talked about before, and perhaps a few things I’m still trying to make sense of myself.
There are stories about the storyteller.
There are funny moments.
There are darker moments.
There are things I’m proud of.
Things I’m less proud of.
People and places that have left their mark on me.
And perhaps a glimpse of the man who exists behind the voice you hear telling you stories week after week.
But I should warn you…
I don't tell you everything.
Some stories belong to other people.
Some memories are mine alone.
So, if you've ever wondered who the slightly rumpled bloke is who spends his evenings wandering around Wales looking for ghosts, talking to trees and frightening himself with stories…
this is probably your chance to find out.
Make yourself a cup of tea.
Get comfortable.
Come and sit with me for a while.
This isn't really an episode about ghosts.
It's not about folklore.
It's not even particularly about storytelling.
It's simply the story of me.
And, as usual…
I probably just rambled.
But thank you for listening.
That means more than you know.
