Ruth continues with "You Know Me Al" by Ring Lardner. Today the fictional letters from a Bush League Baseball player cover April 11- May 20. Jack the pitcher loses his place in the "Big Show" and is traded down to Frisco. His girl friend Violet doesn't want to waste time on a "Busher." The story may be fiction but Lardner tells the behind the scenes truth of Baseball.

In “round-robin storytelling,” a group of people make up a story on the spot. Sally Parker says it’s a good way to bust through writer’s block, and just a lot of fun, whether you’re a writer or not. Parker presented a session on round-robin storytelling this month in Central Park as part of her Square Tomatoes crafts fair, and will again in October. On today’s show, she and Davisville host Bill Buchanan use the technique to make up a story on air … or at least the first part of a story. The rest of the show goes into what this kind of storytelling is all about. Come listen to the result.
