"Life is full of ups and downs just like our stories for this month. Sometimes you win: by embracing who you are and sometimes you lose: by driving a high school music honor society into the ground. Damon Runyon wrote that “life is 6-5 against.” We’d gladly take those odds. Hope you’ve had more than your fair share of triumphs.

"For this month, the Nights storytellers delve into the treacherous realm of dads and discover…hey, some dads can be pretty good after all. We have dads who sit in four hours of fog to try and glimpse the Man in the Mountains, dads who toss you their sandals on the burning dunes of Michigan, and dads who always supported you even if they didn’t always agree with your methods. Here’s to you having one of these dads.

"It’s difficult enough living with yourself! Imagine compounding that by living with other people! It can only be awful and the storytellers gathered for this month have lived the nightmare: from roommates who use your bed, to roommates who stay up way past your 9pm bedtime our storytellers have endured the worst of the worst. Come and commiserate!

"We here at Nights of Our Lives are a passionate crew. Really we are. Our curfew is now 11:30pm! Not on school nights of course. We’ve also had crushes on boys who grew up to be famous tv stars and we’ve even managed to pick up a girl at a bar, once. Has your pulse stopped pounding?? Tune in this month to hear these and other barely safe for kindergarten tales of passion!

"Somehow we’ve been telling stories for fifteen years now. Don’t ask us where the time went, we don’t know. But for our fifteenth anniversary we’ve gathered a trio of our favorite storytellers and we asked them to tell their favorite stories. Watch out for dead fish, aspiring models, and high school boners. You’ve been warned. Most importantly, thank you for listening all these years. Here’s to fifteen more.

"We don’t love snow but we do love love. At least that’s what we claim during our round-table discussion. We hope, you love this month’s show, since our theme is, well, love. We explore love in all its facets: near death experiences, Humvees, and “the one who got away.” Here’s looking at you, kid.

"Did you ever achieve sports glory? Me neither. So live vicariously through our performers this month as they regale us with such past triumphs as getting promoted to assistant bat boy, coaching a losing youth volleyball team, and pooping in a McDonald’s bag to get back at a crosstown rival. We only find the classiest storytellers for you!

"It’s the holiday season and that can mean only one thing: yours truly complaining about snow and joy. And also presents. Presents are always good. Our storytellers end the year by sharing stories of their Best Presents: whether it be a mother’s kick in the pants, a family car, or a Cabbage Patch Doll named Debbie. We all hope you have a wonderful holiday season! See you next year!

"We discuss all things Thanksgiving food in this month’s show, with yours truly—the host—decreeing that mashed potatoes should never ever be made with their skins on. Upon this I shall not waver. And with that we wish everyone a safe and healthy Thanksgiving!

"What scares you? Is it the sweetly sick taste of candy corn? Or an obscure peanut butter candy called, enigmatically, Chick-O Stic? Or perhaps it’s just the sight of your face in the mirror every morning (guilty)? Whatever it may be, we guarantee that this month’s stories will terrify you into never listening to this show again!! (Wait, scratch that. They’ll terrify you into listening to this over and over for all of eternity. There, that’s better.)

"We could all use a break from the world. This month’s show promises only Happy Stories—a first for our show we think. From getting engaged to taking dance classes in Tucson to being the lone videographer on a Playboy shoot, happiness sneaks upon you sometimes when you do indeed most expect it.

"As summer winds down we think about the start of school. And although school, this year, will look different, some things never change: like productions of Romeo and Juliet run amok or spring band trips that turn into scenes of a crime or open mic nights that don’t end as disastrously as feared. Tune in and slide back down memory lane as our storytellers this month share their Back to School stories.

"We doubt the theme of this month’s show has anything to do with what’s going on in the world but we don’t doubt that, at some point, we’ve all been sick. Let’s just hope it’s not right now. Join us in revisiting past maladies from a chopped off finger to a completely made-up little boy who has cancer! It’s all funny, we promise.

"Oh how lucky we are. Especially when compared to the storytellers we rounded up for you this month. From having baby carrots lodged in their throats to being called “Barf” by their wrestling coach to playing pick-up basketball with a man decades older than they—our performers have experienced “luck” in all her wild and wooly permutations. And now you’ll be the lucky ones to hear their stories.

"Would you accept a $100,00 to sleep with a total stranger? (Full disclosure: I absolutely would.) Would you stay in a relationship with someone who repeatedly kissed other people? Would you let an adult beat you in basketball (you’re a kid in this scenario)? Find out the answers to these questions and more (ok maybe not that much more) as we explore the theme of Cheating!
