1. Introduction, Hansel & Gretel Stories We Tell

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!
