    Episode 163 - LEMURIA

    There can be few people who don't have at least a passing awareness of the legend of the lost continent of Atlantis. But probably a significantly smaller number don't know much about Lemuria, another alleged land mass which sunk to the depths and which has since been seized upon by occultists to posit theories about our ancestral past.In this episode of the Folklore Podcast we sort the aquatic wheat from the chaff with special guest Justin McHenry whose latest book provides an in-depth look at the stories of Lemuria.You can visit Justin's website at https://www.justinjmchenry.com/ (https://www.justinjmchenry.com/)To support The Folklore Podcast and help us to keep going into our 10th season, please visit www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast (www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast)

    Episode 162 - KATE YOUNG

    In this episode of the podcast, we explore the use of folklore as an inspiration for the creation of music, with award-winning musician, composer and songwriter Kate Young.At the time of release, Kate has just released her much-anticipated debut album, Umbelliferæ (pronounced ‘um-bell-ifer-aye’), a captivating record inspired by plantlore and the ancient medicinal uses of wildflowers from the British Isles. Drawing from world traditions, chamber music, and indie/pop influences with a stunning song-led string quintet collection, each track is a unique journey through soundscapes inspired by specific plants, which Kate has woven together with stories and melodies that capture the essence of their characteristics and historical uses. You can find out more about Kate and her music, and get a copy of her album, from her website at https://kateyoungmusic.com/ (https://kateyoungmusic.com/)Support the Folklore Podcast on Patreon to help us to keep producing the content you enjoy.

    Episode 161 - ZOMBIE COW

    Folk tales have been important to us for centuries, but in the grand span of their existence we only started writing them down relatively recently. In this episode of the Folklore Podcast, we are joined by Scottish storyteller Allison Galbraith, who is one of those who not only tells in person, but also commits stories to print.Amongst these is the tale Zombie Cow, which she performs as part of this episode and which we couldn't resist using as an episode title.This episode is a rich investigation into the art of storytelling, the written word and much more.Visit Allison's website at www.voiceandstory.com (www.voiceandstory.com)Support the Folklore Podcast on Patreon at www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast (www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast)
