Hi, I'm Rosie, an artist, educator, and lifelong fairytale fiend. From a very young age I've been hooked on stories- some of my earliest memories are of walking with my grandfather and listening to him spin the most incredible yarns- it was pure magic. Since then I've studied literature, theater, art and illustration in hopes of becoming a better storyteller. Every person who tells a story puts their own spin on it- do you remember learning the difference between Disney's Cinderella and the version by the Brother's Grimm? When my grandfather left me his collection of fairytales and fables it seemed like a good time to revisit those familiar stories as they were recorded. As he shared them with me, I will share them with you- starting with some classic collections and seeing where the journey takes us. This way lies adventure. more

You know The Brothers Grimm, but do you know the weird and whimsical fairy tales of Russia? Nicholas Kotar brings you Russia's most beloved fairy tales as you would have heard them from a grandparent sitting near the hearth on a cozy winter evening, the wind howling outside and the courage of these heroic stories lighting a flame in your heart. Enter the world of Baba Yaga, the mysterious hag who can be both friend and foe, and follow Ivan the Idiot as he faces off against a cunning dragon with six heads. These are not stuffy, academic translations, but vividly enacted retellings from Nicholas Kotar's 3-volume fairy tale collection, accompanied by the original music of composer Natalie Wilson.Don't be fooled: these are not just tales for children. As Russian philosopher Ivan Ilyin reminds us, the spiritual meaning of the fairy tale is 'like refined and sweet-smelling honey. If you drip it on your tongue, you'll taste all the ineffable essence of Russia's nature the smell of the earth, the heat of the sun, the fragrance of flowers, and something else that is subtle and rich, something eternally youthful and yet eternally ancient… Only he who worships at the altar of facts and has lost the ability to contemplate a state of being ignores fairy tales. Only the one who wants to see with his physical eyes alone, plucking out his spiritual eyes in the process, considers the fairy tale to be dead.' Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. more

Once upon a time, gods and goddesses walked among us, granting their favor to heroes and creating sea monsters because … well, because they could. After one too many festivals was ruined by a vengeful Poseidon who thought the sacrifice of fish upon his altar wasn't flaky enough, a hero bravely constructed a wall so thick and impenetrable that not even the most industrious of gods could breach it. Fast forward to 2023 when, as part of a wager, Hades decided to leverage one hapless mortal's brief misguided love of AI technology to convince her to create this podcast—a place where the gods, with their instinctively chosen voices, could recapture the ears, if not the hearts and minds, of people everywhere. Here, you'll find gods and goddesses playfully peddling products like Ambrosia Bites —guaranteed to keep you going on all of life's treacherous journeys—and recounting folklore from around the world. From the spooky legend of Devil's Pool in Australia to the whimsical and obscure folktale of a clever Sheikh in Yemen, you'll find a treasure trove of folklore, both ancient and modern, traditional and twisted, on this podcast. Hades, with his deep and somber basso profundo, narrates, while his madcap family lends their voices to the characters. In addition to the tale, each 'regular' episode includes fun facts from Hermes, the psychopomp, who will share culturally significant information about each country or region visited. Persephone or Dionysus (depending on the season) will also share a recipe for something delicious to eat or drink, bringing the country's delights straight to your dinner table. And finally, Zeus, the king of the gods, offers his Lightning Round, where you, our audience, can win a prize if you can answer correctly—no easy task when you must sift through the cacophony of these heartwarming and whimsical gods. In the beginning, this podcast posted a story each week like clockwork, but after Hades realized that AI ghostwriters were killing the fun (and frights) out of the stories, he decreed that all future stories would be human-written. Though our earlier work is here for history's sake, we may go back and redo them, for Hades, that unrelenting taskmaster, has both patience and time on his side. In addition to the regular episodes, you'll find hijinks from the rest of the family, and even some visits from the Roman pantheon, too. To put it simply: there will never be a dull moment here in this corner of Hades's Underworld. A labor of love, this podcast is a way to share the world's stories, enjoy a few laughs, and chronicle one creative writer's journey as she was initially bewitched by AI and reunited with her creative soul. Please note that all 'sponsorships' read by Zeus are completely fictional. This podcast, like storytelling by the fireside, will forever remain free from all monetization. more

BONE AND SICKLE explores historical topics related to folklore and horror. With acerbic wit and a scholarly penchant for the grotesque, rogue folklorist Al Ridenour delves into a wide but carefully curated range of topics illustrated by stories from historical texts. Narratives are given dramatic readings by 'Mrs. Karswell' (Sarah Chavez) backed by richly produced soundscapes blending original music, sound design and effects. The source books, though real enough, are said to be pulled from an imaginary library on Ridenour's imaginary estate situated somewhere in the neighborhood of Charles Addams and Edward Gorey. Each episode begins with our hosts briefly discussing goings-on in this world before diving into the topic to be explored. Occasional alternate-format episodes are devoted to readings of classic horror stories or curious texts of antiquarian interest. Ridenour is the author of 'The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas' (2016) and 'A Season of Madness: Fools, Monsters, and Marvels of the Old-World Carnival' (Jan. 2025). Sarah Chavez produced the podcast 'The Cabinet of Curiosities' (2011-2012) and contributed to 'Death in the Afternoon' (2018-2023). more

We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music.Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O'Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we've been telling stories and playing music from that day to this.
