Episode 20: Hole in the Wall - South Africa
Hi Legends! Happy December! Today, we’re talking about the Xhosa legend revolving around the Hole in the Wall. This is an actual rock formation in the Eastern Cape. My story is inspired and based on the legend - hope you enjoy it! The legend is actually quite romantic and fantastical. Thanks to Nikkole, one of my wonderful listeners, who requested the episode! Stay legendary!

Bonus Episode: Interview with author and game designer, Joshua Gillingham!
Hi Legends! I have another simply amazing bonus episode for you. I am delighted and excited to welcome onto the show, Joshua Gillingham! He is the author of The Gatewatch, a novel inspired by Norse myths and Icelandic sagas, the creator of the Viking-style board game Althingi and a musician for the band, The Ugly Mugs, a group focused on Celtic, Irish and Maritime music. We chat all about Althingi, his upcoming book The Everspring (the second book in the epic fantasy series The Saga of Torin Ten-Trees) and some very tantalising details about the newly revealed Althingi Anthology! Josh also drops some very interesting teasers for the anthology. I can't say much but I promise it's super exciting. Listen to find out!

Bonus Episode: Interview with author and podcaster, Leine Marie Daini!
Hi Legends! Today I am so excited to have a very special guest on the show: Leine Marie Daini! The incredible author of the wonderful children's book Giraffe's Eggs and the amazing host of the podcast Giraffe's Eggs and Other African Stories. I was so excited to invite Leine onto Legendary Africa and am so happy that she joined me today. In this episode we dive into a multitude of elements behind Leine's book and podcast, including: What inspired her to write her own folktale? How did her job as a school teacher influence her writing? And what's the story behind the title Giraffe's Eggs anyway?? I can guarantee you one thing: this is not an episode to miss. Leine will not only make you laugh, but also inspire, motivate and delight. Thanks for listening and stay legendary!

Theshira and Rashalia brought a lot of wonderful tales from the continent of Africa. Stories that would never have come into my world withouth their knowledge and warm storytelling style. I hope that Theshira "Doc" Pather continues on with the podcast and continues to bring amazing stories from the continent that she loves so much. Great for a spooky tale and an insight into what people fear and hope for. A wonderful podcast
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really enjoyed this podcast. The way the story was told held my attention very detailed I could almost see what was being described. I will be back to listen to more ✌🏼❣️~Lydia

Such Interesting Stories!
Absolutely love this podcast! I’d never heard any African myths or folklore before, and they are all so fascinating. And Theshira has such a fun, modern spin on everything. Her way of telling the stories always keeps me entertained, and her speaking voice is so lovely as well!
