Jews have a centuries-old tradition of telling jokes, from the ghettos of Europe to Hollywood and the Catskills. Jewish jokes are entertainment, the oral history of a culture, insightful social criticism, and survival tactic rolled into one. In 2008, Hollywood director and producer Sam Hoffman launched a website called Old Jews Telling Jokes. It’s just what it says: Jewish men and women over 60 sharing their favorite stories, tales, riddles, and punchlines.

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. It takes a lot of digging to find a story from the past that is worth retelling. And I hope you find these stories worth a listen. Hope you enjoy.
