I said it was coming, and here it is - the first episode of Your Stories Online, a place for all the tales that we couldn't fit in at the live show for one reason or another. That means that everyone who enjoys this podcast and doesn't live in Chicago can now be heard! To test out our online adventure, though, we've got two veteran storytellers to talk about this month's theme of new beginnings. Listen to this episode for:

• Jon Lester: Coming Out
• Shawn Boyle: Death is a Party Pooper
