But the lieutenant, along with hundreds of other Marines, was buried in an unmarked grave.

What you won't know is that urban life is short and riddled with dozens of new diseases; your children will be shorter and sicklier than you are; they'll be plagued with gum disease and stand a decent chance of violent death at the point of a spear. Why would anyone choose this? But choose they did.

Telling Simple is a barebones storytelling podcast. This podcast contains North American tales that somebody at some time said were true, or at least they wanted us to believe they were true. These stories are stripped down to their barebones, retold in a storytelling style, and seasoned with a little wit and humor. Plus, you may find the truth stretched a bit.
