Before November closes out, we had to revisit the heartland one more time with our wonderful guests in Midwest Action, a collective of artists based in the region working hard to champion local art. They're pretty great. Check out what they (plus some Nerdofriends!) had to share with us!

• Cover Stories: Hold On
• Katie Johnston-Smith: Mainstreaming
• Dan Jarvis: The Godspell According to A.A. Newcombe
• Jennifer Baird: Kansas
• Silas Mishler: Bookings
• Cover Stories: You Are Not Alone

We should give a special shout-out to Silas' band, Kinda Good, who were kind enough to provide music during the breaks at Your Stories!

And don't forget to nominate your favorite Your Stories pieces of 2014 for inclusion in the year-end Best Of episode!
