Big and Tall Tales: Recent Episodes
Phillip Medlin and Blaine McLaren
We all have stories we like to tell, and others we keep to ourselves for whatever reason, and it’s often the parts we don’t tell that seem to most define our experiences and shape who we are. C.S. Lewis once said that, “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one?” The Big & Tall Tales podcast is about telling our stories...the good, the unbelievable, and the hilarious...and discovering the power of the shared human experience.
