We’re back with another Valley Voices podcast! This time we’re talking to our winners from the second story slam of season 4, about their “Silver Lining” stories. Katie Drumm shares her family's unusual road trip to track down her sister. Andrew Shelffo tells the tale of the Valentine’s Day that switched his views on humanity. And Teal Van Dyck gives us a humorous and touching recount on their interactions with children as a trans-person.

Teal, Andrew, and Katie took home 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place at “Silver Lining” and will go on to compete in the Best of Valley Voices at the Academy of Music on October 13, 2018!

Valley Voices is produced in partnership with The Academy of Music.
