Each 30 minute episode features both on-stage performances and interviews of storytellers about their inspirations and craft and the meaning behind their stories.
"Putting on, or taking something off, is not about the clothes itself but how they represent who you are." was the sentiment embraced by three storytellers who shared three interpretations of WHAT WE WEAR, hosted by Wes Hazard.
Nina Lesiga, an artist, storyteller and ukulelist shared a story about a leap out of her comfort zone to participate in the New York City No Pants Subway ride to an amused studio audience.
