A friend once told me that "joy is an act of rebellion." During the Covid-19 pandemic and the civil rights crisis in America right now, I'd venture to offer his truth. Today's stories focus on the word "laugh," and bring humor, nostalgia, and intention to the act of joy in challenging times. Our stories are brought by Johnica Morrow, Mark Zimmerman, and Deb Peterson, with music by Brett Roes. As always, we are produced in the Black Hills of South Dakota and you can learn more, or contribute, at www.verbstorytelling.com
