1.06 - Breadcrumbs

Hi there Tale of Tales listeners. I wanted to thank you all for your incredible patience this past month and express my fondest hopes that you are all well and safe. I also wanted to grant you an update on the podcast. We’re still running, but I had some serious technical issues at the beginning of last month and now because of the chaos surrounding COVID there is a statewide stay-at-home order here, so as of right now I’m only just settling into the new normal so to speak.All that is to say I haven’t up and vanished into smoke. Our late episode “Breadcrumbs” will be out by Monday, and we’ve already recorded the next month’s worth of episodes as well, so those should be up on time or at the most a couple days late. For April our first episode of the month will be “Fire and Ice”, a special Kickstarter-funder inspired episode tracking the trickster gods of Norse mythology, as well as a special Easter episode called “Risen” about the dying-and-rising-god trope in ancient Mediterranean traditions. The episode art for those is now posted online at taleoftalespod.com If you’re anything like me this nervous period probably has you refreshing your podcast app constantly, desperately trying to find something to listen to and escape for a moment from all the anxiety right now. Because of that, I want you to keep your eyes peeled this month for a special extra episode I’ll be putting out. I hope you guys will enjoy it. Stay safe out there. Peace.

April 2020 Update

***NOTICE: Due to technological issues, the audio on this episode may be a bit off, and this month's second episode may be a few days late! My apologies!***In this episode of Tale of Tales, we'll explore the murky academic origins of the study of folklore, the innate patriarchal fear of women wanting things, and the best way to escape an immortal demon (it involves a really fast horse, but not in the way you expect).For more details, show notes, and a full track listing, head on over to taleoftalespod.com, and feel free to subscribe, share, and review!Music Credits:“Bent and Broken” by Kevin MacLeod “Man Down” by Kevin MacLeod “Folk Round” by Kevin MacLeod “Return of Lazarus” by Kevin MacLeod “The Descent” by Kevin MacLeod “Fantasy Ambience” by Alexander Nakarada“Wanderer” by Alexander Nakarada “Dungeons and Dragons” by Alexandra Nakarada"The Dread" by Kevin MacLeod"Royal Coupling" by Kevin MacLeod"Dark Times" by Kevin MacLeod
