Welcome to Stories We Tell; a dive into long-neglected stories that time has deemed worthy of remembrance.
The first season of this podcast features short stories whose copyrights have expired, and English translations are now in the public domain. These stories belong to us all, but, regrettably, collect dust in digital archives.
Future seasons will explore the meaning of stories through scholarly publications and free-wheeling conversations. Finally, I hope to explore filmmaking as a means of narrative exploration.

4. Rapunzel
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! -
3. The Singing Bone
Justice is served from beyond the grave.
It's another edition of forgotten fables from the Brothers Grimm collection for your listening delights! -
2. Rumpelstiltskin
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! -
1. Introduction, Hansel & Gretel
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!
