Cabin Fever Story Time (CFST) is an online storytelling show that came about because of the quarantine and social distancing restrictions necessitated by the coronavirus pandemic. It started as a weekly show, beginning on March 23, 2020, settled into a monthly format through May, 2021, and then took a several-month hiatus. But, CFST is now back for a five-month run from November, 2021, through March, 2022.
The show is typically just me (Kevin Biolsi) telling a story or two and is usually less than half an hour in length. On occasion, I’ve had guest storytellers, musicians, interviewees, and even a guest interviewer (my spouse).
