...telling the stories of Christians from around the world
People are interested in people. We like to know about others and in some small way
share in their joys and struggles. Christian testimony can be a powerful thing.
By telling real-life stories we hope to communicate the existence of a real and personal
God who is both interested in and interacts with real people.
The Storyteller takes advantage of both these facts. Interesting stories about
Christians from all over the world are adapted to create this long running programme
series. So far The Storyteller has completed two series, with a total of 484 episodes.
What's involved?
Adapting stories for radio involves reading and re-reading suitable books in order to
become familiar with the content and decide on how it can be broken down into
episodes. We aim at between six and eight fifteen minute episodes for each book
depending on its length. All the elements of the story need to be identified, and
decisions made on what needs to be left out. Then the story can be typed up and a short
summary written for the beginning of each episode. Once the script has been checked
and double checked it is ready for recording.
