Find Tell Share is a podcast co-hosted in Sheffield by Chris Sissons, Market Together and Jemma Rosenthal, Find Your Voice. It’s the storyteller’s podcast, featuring everything storytelling, especially if you use stories to promote your business or charity (and you should!). We plan to produce an edition once a month with a guest.
September 2020’s guest is Mike Barker, who is a stand-up comedian and promoter from Retford.
In addition, we discuss Henry Normal and a mystery surrounding Edinburgh’s Scott Memorial, the place of flowers in our lives, a screaming river, the founding of Retfest, comedy dogs and incantations.
September’s Guest
This time we’re delighted to introduce, Mike Barker, who’s the founding member of RetFest, a comedy festival. He has a podcast called “The Man About Town” that discusses everything local to Retford. He likes to help people do well with their business and helps as many comedians as he can, develop their material and find venues to perform their material.

Chris Sissons has always loved stories and these days strides the streets of Sheffield always on the lookout for a new story. He was a Community Development Worker for 30 years and consequently is sceptical about almost everything.
I’m a marketing coach, using stories to open up business development in surprising ways. I underline the distinction between real and paid work. Many people are unhappy because they cannot find time for their real work – as we unravel the lockdown, we’re all challenged to step up and offer the world our own unique insights. They won’t always work but how else do we find the ones that do?
