Tim Jennings and Leanne Ponder

Tim Jennings and Leanne Ponder were tandem tellers, although to call them that does not fulfill what they really do! As they tell their well crafted stories, they talk over each other juggling with words, and phrases, switching characters. One would think the recorded stories were carefully produced in a studio to make it work, but most of thier recordings are done at live events.

Sadly Leanne has Alzheimer's and does not perform stories with Tim anymore, although sometimes plays music with him. It is incredibly sad that they can no longer perform live together. Their meeting, their working together, and Tim's passion of folk and fairy tales are all here. He talks about his influences, his solo work, Leanne's work and a little of his growing up.

I will be adding more on my Patreon site, but here is the interview, the conversation with Tim Jennings, and a little of Leanne Ponder.

This episode lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes.
