Waffle Free Storytelling
152 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 days ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingWelcome to Waffle-Free Storytelling! Fireside, road trip, bedtime, anytime stories for all ages...mostly.
Why "Mostly"? Although all the stories are family-friendly, some stories explore topics like death and the darker side of being human. But kids are pretty wild!! So, I bet they can handle it. Just keep PG in mind.
The main thing is that this podcast is waffle-free. This means there's no jibber-jabber, no waffle, no rambling introduction, or debate on the impact of dinosaur pyjamas on a good night's sleep. It's the story and nothing but.
The stories are between 3 and 17 minutes long, and, like I said, except for a few with a PG rating, are for all ages.
Welcome to the place where coffee breaks become mini-adventures. For more, visit https://tinakonstant.com/ or follow me on Facebook or LinkedIn.
Enjoy the show!!

The Origins of Night and Day
September 25, 2020 09:00 - 8 minutes - 15.1 MBWelcome to the Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! It’s human nature to forget the origins of things. The more time passes, the more inclined we are to turn fact into fiction. And when a lot of time passes, we turn true stories into myths and legends, fables and tales. So, feet up, wrap your hands around a mug of something hot and creamy, and enjoy this tale about the beginning of something we take for granted today. When you're done... enjoy the site! Roam around and pick up more Waffle-F...

Your Kind of Trouble
September 18, 2020 05:00 - 9 minutes - 18.3 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Most of us live lives following the rules. Not OUR rules, but THE rules. Set up by someone to make someone happy. As a result, we often find ourselves on paths we haven't forged. We don't do what we dream. We don't climb our highest mountains. We certainly don't make trouble! This is a story about Tiri, and how she eventually found her trouble... So... kettle on... feet up... and join me for a waffle-free moment. When we're...
The Blind Sparrow
September 11, 2020 05:00 - 4 minutes - 8.1 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This short little tale is all about noticing the world. It's easy to miss things. In fact, sometimes we can be so busy noticing the world that we miss what's right in front of us! This story is called "The Blind Sparrow". Kick back, enjoy a mug of something delicious, and join me for a waffle-free moment. When we're done, feel free to roam around https://tinakonstant.com/ for more waffle-free stories, a Haiku or two, and oth...
Finding Joy
September 04, 2020 05:00 - 8 minutes - 15 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Most of us live a life full of ambition. We're told to have a vision, to fight for our goals, to fill every waking moment working on achieving our mission in life! And sometimes... no matter what we do, we don't get to where we want to be. Until we stop trying. So... Put your to-do list away for the moment, boil the kettle, brew a mug of something delicious, and join me for a waffle-free moment. When you're done, feel free...
Dusani and the Barn
August 28, 2020 05:00 - 12 minutes - 22.8 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Sometimes, all we want to do is change the world!!!!!! And that's just as well... because our need for things to change is coming at a point when it's critical that change does happen. But what if the world isn't the only thing that needs a different way of being? Here's a story all about that. It's called "Dusani and the Barn". Put the kettle on, sit back, and join me for a waffle-free moment. When you're done, take an amb...
I'll See You At The Top
August 21, 2020 05:00 - 4 minutes - 7.83 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Life is a long, long road. We can stay where we are and let it pass us by, or we can climb the mountain we were born to climb. It's a choice we all have. This story is about Tibbi and her journey. It's a short little tale, so grab yourself a mug of something delicious and join me if you fancy. When you're done, take an amble around https://tinakonstant.com/ for more waffle-free, a bit of waffle, a Haiku or two and other stuff...
The Apple Tree That Did
August 14, 2020 05:00 - 11 minutes - 20.7 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Dealing with the big problems in the world can seem impossible - especially if you feel you are just one little human. Sometimes, the only thing to do is the one thing only you can do... not because of where you were born or who you are related to, but because of who YOU are. Do you know what I mean? "The Apple Tree That Did" explains it better... So, feet up on this lovely day... kick back and enjoy a waffle-free story mo...
Dimini And The World
August 07, 2020 05:00 - 6 minutes - 11.1 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Here’s a story about stopping, listening and connecting with the world. Even though some folks find it easier to understand how the world works, no one is born knowing exactly what to do with life. In the end, though, we each have to find our own way of making friends with the world, connecting and living safely in it. “Dimini and The World” is how Dimini did it… You’re welcome to join me! P.S.... STAY IN TOUCH! If you wa...
The Challenge
July 30, 2020 23:15 - 12 minutes - 22.6 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! We lie to ourselves every day about all sorts of things. They're mostly little lies that make our days run more smoothly. We say we're OK with things that we're not OK with, just to avoid conflict. We tolerate bad behaviour from others because we think we're not good enough to deserve better. We pretend we don't see what's really happening, just so we don't have to do anything about it. This story is about seeing the truth. G...
The Spoon
July 23, 2020 23:15 - 6 minutes - 11.3 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This story came out of a workshop I did with the completely wonderful and amazing storyteller, Dorian Haarhoff. You'll remember Tracey Konstant (ohhhhh yes... related) told four of his stories a while back. Well... during this workshop we created collages, then wrote the story that came out of it. That's how "The Spoon" came to be. There's a heap of personal backstory to it, which we might talk about one day. Until then, I h...
The Garden Toria Grew
July 16, 2020 23:15 - 15 minutes - 27.6 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! I was one of these people... I left school with absolutely no idea of what to do with my life. As a result, I drifted, travelled, became a part of other people's plans (that happens when you don't have a plan of your own) until finally, I found my path. This is not uncommon. In fact, clarity and purpose from a young age are rare, I think. This story is for all the drifters, dreamers and roaming souls finding their way. So, t...

The First Adventure
June 26, 2020 05:30 - 11 minutes - 20.8 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This story was inspired by a memory of a hike my sister I took through the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa. We hiked and puffed, panted and endured... and then an old lady strode by, climbing up the mountain path, a bundle of sticks strapped on her back. She smiled, said hello, and kept going. That amazing woman has stuck with me since. So, pick up a brew of something lovely, get comfortable and join me... When you're...

Difficult Questions
June 11, 2020 23:15 - 5 minutes - 9.77 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This week's story has a strange beginning... Last weekend I attended a storytelling workshop run by Dorian Haarhoff where thirteen people got together on Zoom to create stories out of memories. "Difficult Questions" was triggered by the prompt: Think of a childhood memory that shaped you... stands out... proved a turning point in life. It didn't have to be a big event - because the things that change our lives are often quit...

How To Make A Tree
June 04, 2020 23:15 - 8 minutes - 15.3 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This week has been a little wild as usual. I think the busyness of it is what inspired this story. It's so easy to get pulled and tugged, rushed and pushed in this world. But if you have a plan... YOUR plan... and you work it... well... that's when things take shape. So, pick up a mug of something warm, cosy and comforting, and join me for this week's tale.

Harry V Mother
May 28, 2020 23:15 - 14 minutes - 25.9 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! It's been another strange week of people working out what do to with COVID-19. This week's Waffle-Free Story was inspired by news reports where politicians kept talking about "when to open" again. Then I read an article by Jonathan V. Last called We Cannot Open America. The line from that article that stuck in my mind was this: "...Because the world has changed and the source of this change is not a government order. It’s a ...

Did You Get The Message?
May 14, 2020 23:15 - 12 minutes - 22.8 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Life and work have been wild, mad, hectic and crazy over the last few days... and I think that's what inspired this week's waffle-free story. So, here it is. It's called "Did You Get The Message?" It's a little random and I'll be honest... I'm not sure what this story means yet. This is how it came out. It rings true for me, I just don't really know why. Anyway... take some time today to stop, listen, be still, and think a ...
How Bernie Got His Name
May 05, 2020 23:15 - 13 minutes - 24.8 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! As kids we tend to create an impression of our family and siblings that sometimes stick long after we leave home and create lives of our own. It's easy to forget that people grow up and change. Sometimes, it takes a good friend to help you see folk in a new light. This week's story is kinda gentle. So, put your feet up for a moment and join me. When the story is done, feel free to roam about https://tinakonstant.com/ and enj...
Nothin'
April 30, 2020 23:15 - 12 minutes - 22.8 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! There are people in this world who see things coming. We realise who these people are as history unfolds. Most recently, with climate change and, of course, COVID-19. These people are always ignored. They're laughed at, disregarded, and alienated. Governments, businesses and societies who don't like what these people see, do everything to shut them up. And then... it's too late, and panic ensues. As a species, we don't seem...
How To Make Magic
April 23, 2020 23:15 - 18 minutes - 34.2 MBHello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! As a species, we humans are SLOW! We don't learn in a hurry... unless it's free and easy. That thought and this website was the inspiration behind "How To Make Magic". There will come a point when we have no choice but to learn! I just can't guarantee it'll be now. So, it's time to take a break, enjoy a mug of something lovely, and enjoy... When the story is done, feel free to roam about https://tinakonstant.com/ and enjoy m...

The Red Boots
March 20, 2020 06:30 - 14 minutes - 25.9 MBHello and welcome back to The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! It’s been a rough week for the planet... more and more separation, a changing world, then on a note close to home, my beautiful parrot died. As a result, I was stuck on what story to tell this week. I didn’t want to focus on sadness. The news does that for us every day. So instead, I decided to tell the story about growing into ourselves. The main character in this little tale was going to be called Yaya, after my lovely par...

Bury Clara
February 27, 2020 23:15 - 9 minutes - 16.9 MBWelcome to The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This week's story was written after a bout of careful planning for something my hubby and I wanted to do. It got me thinking about all the times my careful plans have had to change, have not worked out, or have produced the opposite result! Which got me thinking about why that might be the case. Sometimes, no matter how meticulous our plans are, someone else has other ideas! So, put your diaries, calendars, checklists, check-boxes, to-do ...
The Pitied
February 20, 2020 23:15 - 17 minutes - 31.7 MBHello And Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! It's another glorious Friday, which means your weekly tale from yours truly is here. This story is about a rite of passage we all, in one way or another, go through. The journey is easier for some than for others. Status, wealth, family or history have, I feel, little to do with how well we fare. It's all about soul, courage, determination... and other human intangibles. "The Pitied" is about finding your way, and not being put of...
Family Feud
February 13, 2020 23:15 - 11 minutes - 21.4 MBHello And Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This story (written and told by yours truly Tina Konstant) came about after watching the American campaign trail (a special breed of madness), then following the UK's argument with the EU, and the EU's disagreements with the UK. Then the Conservative Party fighting with Labour, and Labour fighting with themselves. Then the global debate with China... and so on, and on, and on... Some battles just can't be won. "Family Feud" is one ...
Narrow Escape
February 06, 2020 23:15 - 16 minutes - 30 MBHere's another story written and told by yours truly, Tina Konstant. It's been a busy week, and at some point I had to ask myself whether things had got a little too serious. That's how "Narrow Escape" came about. My hope is we all manage to escape growing up just enough to remember how to have fun. Kick back and enjoy. When you're done, you're welcome to visit www.TinaKonstant.com and dig around for more. Have an excellent coffee break... Tina Listen here, or pick it up and subscribe ...
The Curse Of Hope
January 30, 2020 23:15 - 17 minutes - 32.1 MBHello and welcome to The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Here’s another brand-new story by me for you... Now before you meet Gillimon, there’s a thing you need to remember. Just about everything we take as normal today, like deceit, lying, corruption, hate, love, desire and the misuse of power was, at some time in the history of the universe, a new thing. Everything had to be made. There is always a beginning. Take the birth of hope for instance. Here’s what really happened.... Enjoy y...
The Day The Sun Stopped Playing Ball
January 23, 2020 23:15 - 9 minutes - 16.7 MBWell... with all the events happening in Davos this week, I couldn't help but tell this story. The world is a mess, but for as long as we have people fighting for selfless reasons, an honest outcome, and a real future, we have a chance. It's time to change the story we're telling ourselves. I originally called this tale "The Story Of The World... So Far...", but changed it at the last minute. I hope you enjoy "The Day The Sun Stopped Playing Ball". For more stuff and nonsense, drop by my...
