Stories We Tell

Today is Rapunzel!  This time I had some technical issues, so please you'll bear with me - this will be fixed for next time. Enjoy!

Justice is served from beyond the grave. It's another edition of forgotten fables from the Brothers Grimm collection for your listening delights!

This episode features the 1812 version of Rumpelstiltskin, as recorded by the Brother Grimm.  I knew this story from Muppet Classic Theatre, but the original also slaps.   Enjoy!

INTRO: Welcome is Stories We Tell. The first season of this podcast features stories from around the world.  Their copyrights have expired and various translations are now in the public domain.  These are stories that belong to us all; to anyone with the desire to read them. Future seasons will also explore theoretical works on storytelling, conversations about contemporary stories and, when possible, discussions about film as a medium of their expression. Thanks you for turning in! This episode features the 1812 version of Hansel and Gretel, by the Brother Grimm.  It's a morbid little tale with themes of filicide, cannibalism, consumption and baking.   Forgive my raspy voice, I'm getting over a cold.   I hope you enjoy!
