#Japan #folktale #Cinderella

Today we are back in the book of Japanese folklore written down by Yei Theodora Ozaki. Tonight’s story is about a princess that does everything right, but is still hated by her step mother. Like Cinderella, but from a few thousand years ago.

#india #folktale

Welcome back listeners to Sandman Stories Presents, a folklore podcast where I read you to sleep or until the next story, I’m your host, Dustin. Today we are back in the book of Indian folklore written down in the Shimla Village tales recorded by Alice Dracott. In the first story, a prince is helped out by a monkey, who wants nothing more than to go home. And in the second story, the Jackal wants to be treated like a king, but there is confusion in his hoo ha.

And the podcast shoutout is to the Teacher Think Aloud podcast. This is a wonderful podcast aimed at helping teachers do better. Hosts Anna and Shey do a great job of bringing classroom issues to the show and talking about how teachers can handle them. Really good folks and I’m so happy that they create content for my profession. And if you like their show as much as I do, give them a like, a rating, and a review.

And the listener shoutout is to PohnPei Micronesia. Don’t confuse it with the Roman city of yore. To visualize where it is at, think of Papua New Guinea and go north east about 2000 kilometers. For miles, um…. Have fun with that. It’s a very wet island that has jungles in the interior and beautiful shores. The language, Phonpeien, is part of the Australnesian languages which includes Hawaiian and Maori and Malagasy. And of course I would love to visit this island some day. So to my listeners on Pohnpei, I say Kalahngan and Pwohng mwahu Thank you and goodnight

#ghana #folktale

Today we are back in the book of Ghanaian folklore written down by W.H. Barker. In the first story, we learn how to bull yourself out of a court case. In the second, we learn why Rams live at home while the leopard lives in the forest. And in the final story, we learn about biting the cat that feeds you and why Leopards are like nascar drivers.

Podcast Shoutout: Japan Distilled. Do you like sake? Shochu? Then you need to check out Steve and Chris, and their sound guy Rich. They have decades of tasting experience and can give you the history of each brewery or spirit that they cover. It’s super fun and a good insight into Japanese spirits by a couple of guys who really know their stuff. And if you like the show as much as I do, go and give them a like, a rating, and a review.

Listener Shoutout: Bamako Mali. I’m still not sure how someone in the city found my podcast, but I’m glad that they listened to at least one episode. Bamako is the capital of the country of Mali, which is the legacy of the Malian empire. This city has seen the likes of Mansa Musa who traded salt for gold and then messed up the whole gold market when he went on hajj and flooded it with gold gifts. People have lived in the city since the paleolithic era. Of course it was also colonized by France during the ransacking of Africa by the European powers. It did make me smile when they dropped French from their official languages. And so today, I’ll be attempting the main language Bambara. To the listener in Bamako I say Aw ni ce and Aw ni su Thank you and goodnight

Podcast Shoutout: Reddit on Wiki. Hosts John, the punny pinoy, Josh, the sweet international host, and ya boy Sean, Houston’s finest, gang up with a rotating cast of advice givers and work through your weirdest reddit stories and give you the best advice three cis hetero partnered men can give. And it is really good. Like these guys really think it through and are super kind. And so if you like their show as much as I do, go and give them a like, a rating, an ogtha, and a review.

Listener Shoutout: And the listener shoutout is to Thiruvan anthapuram (or Trivandrum). It is the capital of the southern Indian state of Kerala. The meaning of the city name is "The City of Lord Ananta” It's distinguished by its British colonial architecture and many art galleries. It’s also home to Kuthira Malika (or Puthen Malika) Palace, adorned with carved horses and displaying collections related to the Travancore royal family, whose regional capital was here from the 18th–20th centuries. ― Google

It’s also where a fun drama called “the good karma hospital” is supposed to be set. And of course, I would love to visit there. I wonder if folks get tired of me saying that.
