During the holiday season, perhaps more than any other part of the year, families embrace or reject traditions.
Holiday traditions is one of the themes explored by The Monti, a North Carolina storytelling organization and two storytellers are featured in this program: The Monti scorekeeper known as "Hippo Guy" shares his story about the blending of his family's religious traditions- and his children's reactions. And Tiffany Lopez recounts her family's unusual tradition: cheating.
Host Frank Stasio talks with the Monti's founding executive director, Jeff Polish, about family traditions in storytelling.
