    It’s always a “play next” when a new ep of Five Minute Stories drops—Aaron Calafato is like a heartwarming combination of Jean Shepherd and Ira Glass. I’m always excited to go on whatever journey is ahead with such a fantastic storyteller!

    America
    A great story Aaron. I could see the whole thing in my mind as you were telling it and felt the excitement of you being asked to be part of their team and representing as America. 👏👏 Amazing migrant community, they have this to look forward to on Saturdays. Batman and Robin Great story telling, I could feel your enthusiasm during the battle. 🐣🤺I think 🤔 she was just afraid. Thanks! Loved the semi-soulmate story! This is definitely no coincidence and I look forward to hearing the outcome. PS: I believe Cori and I would have approached them waaaaay before now. I can’t believe you waited so long doing the side-eye. Door-to-Door Salesman Aaron, I absolutely love this story and totally agree about door-to-door salesman. We don’t have many here, however we get zillions of calls a day about auto warranty, and I don’t even answer the phone anymore.I have made the same mistake that you did before and apologized profusely. MyFavorite line though is “do you forgive me?”I had asked that same question of a friend several months back, it seemed so important for me to hear. 😊I realize the importance of forgiveness and don’t like to carry something's that I have done wrong in my heart.I find that very that caring you needed to know the answer to that question also. ☺️

    Original and always entertaining!!
    I'll be honest, I don't always listen to podcasts. Some are just too long or nonsense filled. With Aaron's stories, you get to see his life through his eyes and get taken on a journey for a only 7 minutes. It's worth listening to. Great topics and authentic material through and through.

    Incredibly gifted, captivating story-teller
    Story telling is an underrated art, and Aaron is an incredibly gifted artist. His gift is not that he has lived the most interesting life of all lives. It’s that he has an uncanny ability to observe every interesting and important detail of the things happening around him, replay those details vividly, and tie it all together with a captivating and compelling message.
