About This Episode

This fan-favorite story by the incredible storyteller, Ladi Loera, returns as part of our Best of Stories Found series — now featuring our new format that brings the story right to the front of the episode and then offers a behind-the-scenes interview with the storyteller.

Whether you're hearing this story for the first time or the fifth, 5 Calls, perfectly nails the nerve-wracking, awkward, and hilariously human moments involved in trying (and trying) to make a connection.

About the Storyteller

Ladi Loera is an artist, animal lover and award winning storyteller.
He won the Moth with a story about sympathetic nausea and what it teaches us about love and connection. He is a homebody, whose idea of traveling the globe is going to a different HEB. If you're ever looking for him, he's most likely at home.

Ladi is also the Artistic Director and Producer of Testify, an incredible live storytelling show in Austin, Texas. Visit https://testifyatx.com
