Audacious Live! Show & Tell in Willimantic: From rare computers to hand grenades
Manage episode 508590721 series 2831303
What happens when adults do “Show and Tell” at a brewery?
In this third live installment, recorded at Willimantic Brewing Company, names are drawn from a vase and strangers step up with objects that carry big stories: a couch cushion, a WWII code talker radio, a NeXT computer by Steve Jobs, a ravioli cutter, a shofar, even a hand grenade.
The results are hilarious, heartfelt, and unforgettable, proving once again that the things we carry tell the stories of who we are.
