Welcome to Atlanta Storytellers!
Episode 6: Faye Pous
Faye Pous is a born storyteller, shaped by the voices of her Holocaust-survivor parents and a childhood filled with Yiddish fairy tales where she was always the hero. In this heartfelt and humorous interview, she shares how those early stories, and a surprise invite to The Moth, led her to a stage she now calls home.
Faye talks about the nerves that come with performing, the thrill of winning her very first Story Slam, and why she still rehearses every story in front of her dogs. She opens up about the Atlanta storytelling community, the comfort of being surrounded by kindred spirits, and the importance of telling your story while you still can.
This is a conversation full of warmth, laughter, and deep connection, and a reminder that it’s never too late to find your voice!
We hope you enjoy it!
