Similarities and Differences In Chinese Storytelling
Today we chatted with John Zhu, from the Chinese Lore Podcast as a part of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month! While the stories we discuss today are not technically mythology related, they are connected through history and culture and beliefs, just like the creatures we discuss in our show :)

The Park Presents: Shaman, Feminist Fairytales
CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains sensitive material that may not be suitable for all audiences, including themes relating to refugee affairs and abortion. Listener discretion is advised.
Suab, a Hmong shaman from Southeast China, finds spiritual asylum in the graces of Guanyin after being pursued by mysterious spirits. Guanyin is willing to listen and see what has caused such suffering to the shaman's state...but the more she inquires of the shaman's past, the more her unconditional compassion and mercy wavers. Why has Suab fled her country? From what exactly is she trying to escape from? How may a Goddess find empathy in the conflicting values of a modern world?

Customer Reviews
A story within a story about stories
Mythology, or the study of myths is as stated, the study of fantastical stories lost to the sands of time.
“Residents of Proserpina Park” tells these fictional stories in a very historically accurate way by executing it through a fictional story. This layered and nuance approach to their show is extremely clever, and that is echoed in the quality of the show.
Top notch voice acting, production, and sound design make this a show you don’t want to miss.
Come meet the residents
Residents of Proserpina Park features a very well-cast production, lively creatures that spark one's curiosity, and a story world that feels both cozy and wildly unhinged at the same time. What the heck is this dude doing walking a three-headed dog? Does he earn thrice the wages of a regular dog walker? And who owns his freakish "dog"? Something's definitely going on around this park full of mythical creatures and I think it's more than just toxic waste runoff at the local nuclear power plant. Come meet the residents!
Fun and informative!
Clean, immersive sound design creates the unique experience of exploring Proserpina Park along with Alina and friends. Each episode brings more to learn about myths and legends, along with revealing a little more of the unfolding mystery. The dialogue manages the tricky task of being informative but not stilted, and the actors complement each other well. I'm ready to return to the park in season 2!
