#FolkloreThursday #BookologyThursday #Celtic: `The Folklore Scotland Podcast is packed full of exciting myths and legends and masses of dynamic conversation from folklore enthusiasts. There is plenty in this podcast to sink your teeth into.
Their first pilot episode was launched in December 2020 on the Winter Solstice and after 6 months of testing and refining their process and style they officially launched the podcast on the 21st of June 2021 (or as some people may have recognised, the Summer Solstice).
The founders (https://folklorescotland.com/scottish-folklore-team/) and their brilliant team of dedicated volunteers created three sections within their podcast each with their own unique style.` Enjoy!

#FolkloreThursday #BookologyThursday #Celtic: `Greg Wright (@GodysseyPodcast) hosts the Godyssey Podcast, a storytelling podcast that tells stories from around the world, illustrating our shared humanity and the stories we tell about ourselves. He first met mythology in a competition between his mother and his grandparents regarding how much evangelical 80s Christian content he would consume vs. tales from around the world, but his love of global folklore truly began when a Nigerian storyteller with a traveling drum came to Trice Elementary with tales of Spider Anansi. Armed with a general love of mythology and folklore but with an eye for the importance of cultural context, Godyssey’s three seasons have told tales from Ireland, Scandinavia, and Japan.` Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlj6rhuZBjA!

#FolkloreThursday #BookologyThursday #Celtic: `The Scottish Folklore Podcast is hosted by Jenny Johnstone. In each episode she retells traditional Scottish folktales from around the country, bringing age-old adventures, local lore, and strange creatures to life. Jenny’s love for folklore stems from her work on Stories of Scotland, a podcast exploring Scottish history, nature, and folklore.
The Scottish Folklore Podcast harnesses the audio medium to continue the ancient practice of oral storytelling, a tradition that stretches back thousands of years through Scottish culture. By connecting the past with the present, Jenny hopes these stories can be enjoyed, shared, and retold for generations to come.` Enjoy!

#FolkloreThursday #BookologyThursday #Celtic: `Candlelit Tales was founded by sibling storytellers Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. With their shared passion for #Irish #mythology and expression, they‘re retelling ancient stories such as „The Children of Lir“ (https://on.soundcloud.com/MLyRMXdNipfZFwLhP1).
