Rather than noting what is in this World Storytelling Day episode, I'll note what is regrettably missing.* Not much personal storytelling, despite a commitment to return to nostalgia a few weeks ago.* Repeating some material from Inappropriate Conversations #50 about Lilo & Stitch.* Insufficient callout to the band The Peddlers for the theme song to The Lost Continent.* Planned but forgot to connect the "sound" of Dana Gillespie to Candye Kane.* Missed an opportunity to feature at least a clip from the blues singing of the Different Drummer.* Perhaps even fell short on fully noting the impact of an actress and costume designer on me at a young age.Despite missing some elements, the "monsters and dragons" topic for storytellers this March 20 brought out my memories of good monsters, both literally and ironically.Different Drummer: Dana Gillespie

I am one of those people, with podcast episodes like this one being an exception. With a connection to the team building concepts in the previous show on spiritual development, let's go behind the scenes -- metaphorically around the campfire -- at a spiritual retreat or two.Different Drummer: Max Lucado
