Storyteller Speaks to Students About Podcasting; Entertains the Public in Evening Program

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擠over Library will present Dan Sellers, the host, producer and writer of 鈥溾�� podcast, for two programs on Oct. 26. During the morning, Sellers will meet with 海角网 students to discuss podcasting, production, and marketing.

In the evening at 7 p.m., he will present a night of ghost stories, folklore and true crime. Sellers plans to include a story about Cleveland County鈥檚 own Big Foot, 鈥淜nobby.鈥� Held on the library鈥檚 third floor, this program is open to the public and rated for ages 12+. Tickets are $10 for the community and free for students, faculty and staff. Tickets are available here.

鈥淓veryone loves a good story,鈥� asserted Dean of the Library and University Archivist Dr. Natalie Bishop. 鈥淲hat do we love more than a good story鈥攁 ghost story! I’ve been listening to Dan telling spooky tales on 鈥楥arolina Haints鈥� for years and really connect with his style of storytelling and podcast production. With the library’s new podcasting studio, we thought Dan and 鈥楥arolina Haints鈥� would be a perfect opportunity for our students to learn about the professional side of podcasting while having some good, scary fun.鈥�

Sellers, the owner of Wreak Havoc Productions, also produces horror movies. His interest in the paranormal and ghost stories began early. 鈥淚 grew up loving these stories from North Carolina and found it absolutely fascinating to visit these places,鈥� he related. 鈥淚 first conceptualized 鈥楥arolina Haints鈥� as a travel video blog in 2010, but abandoned that project. In 2017, I brought it back as a storytelling podcast, and in 2021, the 鈥楥arolina Haints鈥� book was published. We’re into our seventh season of the show now, and we鈥檙e expanding 鈥楥arolina Haints鈥� as a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting folklore across the Carolinas.鈥� 

Auxiliary aids will be made available to persons with disabilities upon request 10 working days prior to the event.  Please call 704-406-4270 or email [email protected] with your request.
