Five Minute Folklore Bob Shoy

I love this podcast- the stories are always brilliantly told and come from such an eclectic range of traditions.

I love that there is the perfect balance of emotion and neutrality when telling the tales, which, in my opinion, is the making of a great storyteller. One should feel engaged with the characters but the stories should also speak for themselves. In this podcast, the narrator manages to tick both these boxes, making this show highly enjoyable.

My only complaint is that there isn’t enough of them!

Bob does an excellent job of researching figures from folklore and presenting traditional stories and beliefs alongside contemporary interpretations. Well worth adding to your library.

I travel a lot and find myself listening to podcasts to pass the time. Bob Shoy’s new show is fantastic, I have listened to nearly all of the guys Unexplained series and this is a nicely made spin-off. Top work.
