Live On The Line will feature brand new stories from the June story slam alumni along with new KC Speaker Corp members and a very special guest, Matthew Dicks. Matthew Dicks is an award-winning storyteller, author, public school teacher and former fast food worker. His award-winning stories have been featured countless times on the Moth Radio Hour and on This American Life, TED Talks and others.
