    The Fairy of the Dawn pt. 1

    Tonight, we’ll read the first part to “The Fairy of the Dawn,” a Romanian fairy tale by author Marie Kremnitz. The second half to this story will air in our next episode. Snoozecast first read this story back in January of 2022. Tonight’s story features a prince who doesn’t seem at first to be destined for heroism. Unlike his brothers, who seek adventure, fortune, and battles, this prince prefers singing, laughing, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Yet, as the tale unfolds, his heart and courage reveal a hero in his own right. The author of this story, Marie Kremnitz, born in Germany, later moved with her husband and children to Romania. There she became maid of honor to Queen Elisabeth of Romania, a fellow writer and romantic dreamer. The two formed a close bond, writing several books together under pen names. Kremnitz later established herself as a prolific author in her own right, often blending whimsical folklore with elegant prose. Queen Elisabeth, known by her pen name Carmen Sylva, was an avid collector and teller of fairy tales, and her creative influence can be felt in Kremnitz’s works. Their collaboration often explored themes of inner strength, moral growth, and the transformative power of kindness—elements that are woven into “The Fairy of the Dawn”. The tale reflects not only their shared literary style but also the rich cultural traditions of Romanian folklore, which brim with enchantment and mystery. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

    You Might Also Like: How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality

    Introducing Near Death Experiences from How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality. Follow the show: How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality People have been having Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) all over the world for as long as we can look back into history. And the strange thing is… these experiences seem to have a lot in common. Why? Is it a look into the afterlife? Is it just our neurons firing in weird ways as the brain dies?  We’ll talk to psychiatrist Bruce Greyson, one of the world’s leading experts on Near-Death Experiences, about the research that led him to rethink his understanding of the nature of life, death, and the continuity of consciousness. We’ll explore the science behind how these experiences can provide comfort, heal past trauma, and even create transcendent experiences that help us make as much sense of our lives as of impending death. And we’ll also consider the bigger question of what NDEs suggest, if anything, about our understanding of reality.  Bruce Greyson, M.D. is the author of “After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond.” Find out more about his book, and his over 45 years of experience researching NDEs, on his website.  Here are links to the recordings of people you heard talking about their NDEs throughout the episode: Sharon Stone, Dr. Mary Neal, Renee Pasarow, Cherie Aimee, Jayne Smith. Here’s a video of Dr. Gregory Shushan talking about his research on NDEs in ancient religions.  DISCLAIMER: Please note, this is an independent podcast episode not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced in conjunction with the host podcast feed or any of its media entities.

  4. Fortunatus

    1월 1일

    Fortunatus

    Tonight, we’ll read a story called “Fortunatus”. It is inspired by a German tale regarding a legendary hero popular in 15th- and 16th-century Europe. It is a tale which marks the passing of the feudal world into the more modern, globalized, capitalist world. The moral of the story is that it is far too easy, without wisdom, to lose one's fortune, no matter how it was acquired. Snoozecast first read this story back in 2020. Scholars often see Fortunatus as a bridge between medieval morality tales and the emerging genre of the picaresque novel. Unlike the static world of feudal allegory, Fortunatus’s adventures take him to exotic lands and through unpredictable encounters, mirroring the dynamic shifts in 16th-century Europe. The story also foreshadows themes that would later dominate literature: the perils of greed, the transience of material wealth, and the need for prudence in the face of opportunity. The magic purse in Fortunatus is thought to symbolize the transformative power of currency, which became increasingly significant during the Renaissance as Europe transitioned from a barter-based economy to one driven by trade and capital. However, the tale warns of the dangers of wealth without wisdom. Fortunatus’s reckless spending and eventual ruin serve as a cautionary reminder that fortune, no matter how abundant, is never immune to folly. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

  5. The Flight of the Golf Ball

    The Flight of the Golf Ball

    Tonight, we’ll read an excerpt from The Soul of Golf by P.A. Vaile, published in 1912. Snoozecast first read this back in 2020.  The author Vaile’s contributions to golf literature extended beyond mere instruction—he was an early advocate for the science of the game. His writings explored the mechanics of golf swings and course strategy, combining a passion for the sport with an analytical mind. Vaile’s influence helped shape the way golf was taught and understood during the early 20th century, paving the way for the modern emphasis on technique and precision. The 15th-century Scots may have codified the game, but golf in its earliest days was far from the polished pastime we recognize today. Early versions were played with rudimentary clubs and balls made from wood or leather-stuffed feathers. One of the oldest known golf courses, the Old Course at St. Andrews, still exists today and remains a hallowed site for enthusiasts. Established in 1552, it reflects the deep historical roots of the game. St. Andrews is often referred to as the “Home of Golf,” and it’s where many of the rules of modern golf were first formalized, laying the groundwork for the sport’s global expansion. Curiously, golf has also found its way into the annals of literature and lore. Some tales recount how the sport’s original intent was as much about leisure as it was about competition. Kings and commoners alike enjoyed the challenge of golf, and even Mary, Queen of Scots, is rumored to have played. Her passion for the game may have lent her the nickname “the first lady golfer,” further entwining golf with history and legend. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

In the previous chapter, Anne’s impulsive nature leads her to accept a dangerous dare, resulting in a fall that leaves her with a broken ankle and weeks of confinement. Despite her initial despair, Anne’s vivid imagination and the kindness of friends help her endure the tedious recovery, during which she discovers the depth of her connections in Avonlea. The episode showcases Anne’s resilience and Marilla’s growing affection for her, as well as Anne’s enduring ability to find joy and lessons in even the most challenging situations. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

  7. Baking Cookies

    Baking Cookies

    Tonight, we’ll read the section on baking cookies from “Woman’s Institute Library of Cookery Volume 4”, written by The Woman’s Institute of Domestic Arts and Sciences.  The Woman’s Institute was founded by Mary Brooks Picken in Scranton, PA. Born in Kansas in 1886, Picken wrote the first dictionary to be published by a woman in the English language, beyond the over one hundred other books she wrote. The word "cookie" comes from the Dutch word "koekje", which was Anglicized when the Dutch brought cookies to America in the late 1620s. The old fashioned spelling for cookies has the word ending with a “Y” instead of “ie”. The “ie” spelling became dominant in the 1950s, except where the older “y” spelling was still used in some prominent titles, such as “Betty Crocker's Cooky Book”. This was likely a result of the colonial revivalism happening at that time, with greater interest in old-fashioned recipes and colonial culture that lasted from the 1920s to the Bicentennial of the 1970s. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

  8. A Christmas Tree

    A Christmas Tree

    Tonight, we’ll read a short story by Charles Dickens called “A Christmas Tree”, from 1850. Snoozecast first aired this story back in the year 2020. It was only ten years prior to this story’s publication that in 1840 the German concept of a Christmas tree was introduced to England. Before then, nobody in England had placed a Christmas tree in their home.Just as Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol” isn’t actually a song, “A Christmas Tree” is barely a story and the tree is merely a launching off point for a series of dreamy impressions from the author’s mind.  — read by 'M' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
