Story Time for a Strange World: Peterson Toscano

Peterson Toscano

Today's guest-host, Peterson Toscano, is bringing us an incredible creative gift to us today, and it's clear to me that he's not just showing off his writing gifts, which are considerable, but he's hoping to inspire you to develop and use similar gifts, hopefully for the kind of world-growing, world-healing, purposes that are at the core of Peterson's work. So, on one level, you'll hear some of the steps that he goes through to hone his writing, but on another level you're going to be diving deep into the ideas, emotions, visions, and concerns that Peterson has for the world. You'll be hearing his stories: What Is Actually There (June 2025 in Friends Journal), Camouflage (printed in The Advocate), Shell Game (a part of Unlikely Stories Six) and a final story, The End (which was in the first issue of Peruse Zine). Some of these are imaginary, and some are based on real events in Peterson's life, but all of them will illuminate possibilities and realities of reaching toward a better world.
