Podcasts about Folktale

✨ Have you ever wondered what would happen if a fairy or a goblin came to your door? This is a magical story about a brave girl named Morgan, a strange old well, and a riddle-like challenge from the Fairy King and Queen!

In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock, will read to you a Russian folktale: “The Three Sisters and Their Glass Hearts.” It's a poignant story, nonetheless, and one you'll long remember.Story:  "The Three Sisters and Their Glass Hearts," in The Golden Fairy Book, H.R.

Claire de Mézerville López is joined by co-host Bálint Juhász, for the “Powerful Intersection Between Restorative Justice and Art” podcast series, a special initiative by the IIRP together with the European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ). Art has the unique ability to connect and facilitate dialogue, making it a powerful tool in restorative justice practices. Throughout the series, we will examine how artists from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds use their creative expression to foster communication, build empathy, and potentially repair harm. Each episode will highlight a different aspect of this intersection, featuring conversations with artists who have contributed to restorative justice processes through various art forms — be it visual arts, music, theatre, film, and dance. Olga Ziori joins us to discuss the crucial role of restorative justice in child protection. Olga, a seasoned lawyer and restorative justice mediator, shares her profound journey from working with unaccompanied minors in refugee settings to advocating for compassionate, community-based solutions. Through poignant storytelling and innovative approaches, Olga reveals how she integrates restorative practices into challenging environments, fostering empathy and cultural understanding among vulnerable populations. From using narrative therapy to empowering minors as peer mediators, Olga's work highlights the resilience and healing potential within restorative justice. Olga Ziori is a Child Protection Expert and a Lawyer of Kavala Bar Association in Greece. Olga holds an LLM in Human Rights and a master's in social policy. Since 2011, she has been working with unaccompanied minors and children in conflict with the law, in various refugee camps in Greece. As a restorative justice facilitator, she has applied restorative practices and community mediation as part of her work in the refugee camps. She is an Accredited Mediator (Greek Ministry of Justice) specializing in Child Inclusive Family Mediation and School Mediation. She uses folk tales as a restorative justice tool in her work with vulnerable communities. After attending her first folk tale storytelling festival, she fell in love with the art of storytelling. Her love of folk tales led to a diploma in “Folk Tale in Education: Creative Reading, Critical Literacy and Use” and the beginning of a lifelong journey in the world of storytelling. Bálint, a Hungary native, has been working extensively with education and training programs, cultural project management and theatre internationally. Previously, he was the educational program manager of the performing arts company, Krétakör. He led Krétakör Free School, a democracy awareness program for students. He has experience working with marginalized groups of society. In Brussels, he led community theatre workshops for vulnerable families. He holds a degree in Literature and Linguistics from ELTE University Budapest and completed a master's in education with a focus on drama at Trinity College Dublin. He joined the EFRJ in 2019 to contribute to the organization's training development and communication. Tune in to uncover the impact of storytelling in conflict resolution, its therapeutic value, and practical applications in educational settings and beyond.

In the quiet of 1929 Arkansas, the tale of Connie Franklin gripped the nation. A drifter with a devil-may-care charm, Franklin disappeared just before he was to marry a young farm girl. Soon, whispers of a gruesome murder surfaced, with accounts of violence, betrayal, and a body burned in a fiery pit. As a trial of the accused unfolded, shocking twists and dark secrets blurred the lines between victim and villain, leaving the truth shrouded in uncertainty. Who was Connie Franklin, and what truly happened in those shadowed hills? Sometimes, the dead don't stay silent. And sometimes, they don't stay dead. → Credits, References, Corrections, and More Home: https://almostcertainlynot.com/ → Support Join our Patreon with the link below.

In this episode, Lian shares the timeless Slavic folktale tale of Vasilisa The Beautiful and Baba Yaga. Each month, Lian tells a mythical tale… as spell, as memory, as invitation... not to be analysed or consumed, but to be felt, stirred, remembered as a magical doorway into your own soul. She first shared this live with our beloved community in UNIO, our Academy of the Soul, in which we continue to journey more deeply together with it in a month-long quest. To join us for the next mythical quest, you can join UNIO here: bemythical.com/unio The tale of Vasilisa is one of enchantment, resilience, and the deep wisdom that lies hidden in plain sight. A dying mother's blessing… a magical doll… a dark forest… and the terrifying Baba Yaga, whose spinning hut and riddling tasks test the heart of a young girl thrust into a heroine's journey. What begins as a tale of cruelty and exile unfolds into a luminous transformation… one that reveals how love, intuition, and soul-guidance can lead us through even the darkest of nights. Through this myth, we're offered a mirror: one that reflects back our own relationship to trust, to trial, and to the quiet voice that knows the way home. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll receive from this episode: A Blessing in Disguise: The doll Vasilisa's mother gives her is more than a keepsake… it becomes the voice of wisdom, protection, and intuition that guides her through the unknown. The Trials of the Forest: Baba Yaga's impossible tasks become rites of passage, revealing the hidden power that awakens when we listen, surrender, and trust what lives within us. Fire as Sovereignty: The flame Vasilisa returns with is no longer borrowed… it is earned, and with it comes a transformation that burns away falsehood and reveals the queen she was always becoming.

What if you could do magic… just by making rhymes? One clever boy found a very unusual way to become a wizard—and it all started with one tiny mistake!

Have you ever wished you were the smartest or strongest in the world? Well, one boy named Gwion was just an ordinary helper… until a drop of magic changed everything!

What happens when you talk too much and listen too little?In this episode of Walk Good, we journey to the vibrant hills of St. Vincent and The Grenadines to explore the power of words through the Caribbean saying, “Mind yuh mouth.” You'll hear a rich retelling of the folktale How Dog Lost His Voice—a story about a talkative dog, a royal visit, and the consequences of spilling secrets.Blending oral tradition with lived wisdom, this story reminds us that what we say—and when we say it—matters more than we think.

I apologize in advance that this is perhaps the saddest story that I've ever told on The Folktale Project. Han Christian Andersen's 'The Story of a Mother' begins sadly and ends sadly with a bit of melancholy in the middle. Trigger warning - the story begins with the death of a child.
