This month's theme is Silver Linings. Graphic designer Lindsay Yee, paramedic Ronen Lahav and improviser Mary-Margaret Slack will share stories of difficult events, moments or circumstances that have had unexpectedly positive outcomes. Hosted by Sarin Moddle.

Inspired by many well-known storytelling events and podcasts held worldwide (The Moth, This American Life), The Watercooler is a platform for people from all walks to tell stories both true and imagined. Storytellers are given a simple brief to share a story inspired by the month’s theme, whether based on real-life experiences or entirely fictional.
