    Feb 17 2026

    Much of how we enjoy life, succeed at work, engage with friends, learn, and help others understand our point of view is through stories and storytelling.
    Welcome to Season 1 of But Keep Your Stories Closer, where we’re telling and exploring stories focused on the theme of occupations (like jobs, not invading countries). Host Chris Fogle shares personal experiences and interviews friends for their craziest tales. Turns out ordinary people have some of the most extraordinary stories!
    In today’s pilot episode - the incredibly witty “New Hire Story-entation” - Chris talks about his jobs at a pizza place and manufacturing plant, gives some of his background, explains the show’s premise, and tries to be funny. We might even learn our real purpose in having a job.

    Finally, our “Read It and Weep” segment - dedicated to media we’re consuming - highlights the book "Surprised by Laughter" about the humor of C.S. Lewis.
