Ohio State English: The Podcast

Education


On this month's episode of the podcast, Haley talks with folklorists Martha Sims, Dorothy Noyes, and Cassie Patterson about the work they do in the folklore realm of the English department. Folklore is often mistaken for something that exists in the past, in things like fairy tales and fables. In reality, folklore exists all around us--even in the graffiti in bathroom stalls! We discuss how folklore works within all of our lives, and why studying and recording it is so important.
