Assyrian author Bedri Deril was born in the Bohtan region of southeastern Turkey. From an early age, he was deeply influenced by the oral storytelling traditions of his grandmother, who would recount ancient Assyrian folk tales to him and his siblings. These stories, rich with cultural wisdom and ancestral memory, left a lasting impression on him. As he grew older, Bedri recognised the importance of preserving this oral heritage. Motivated by a desire to keep these stories alive for future generations, he set out to collect and document the tales he had memorised in his youth. This effort culminated in the creation of his book, Assyrian Folk Tales, which is now available in both Assyrian (Suret) and various European languages. Currently, Mr. Deril is in Australia promoting the book and sharing his cultural legacy with a wider audience. His work stands as a testament to the resilience of Assyrian storytelling and the enduring power of heritage through language.

A radio journalist by trade, Hana fell in love with voice, how it could emote, and its expressiveness at an early age though she grapples with what it means to take ownership of oral traditions. Why she's resisting the urge to profit from her heritage. Plus, the reason she believes her stories are a gift to the next generation of Sudanese children on the continent and across the diaspora. And how the current national and geopolitical climate influenced her decision to curate, produce, and distribute these stories, but now also endanger their future existence and proliferation.

Her new podcast, Folktales from Sudan, brings ancient Arabic fables to life in English for the first time. It's aimed at young people in the diaspora who may not speak the language or have lost their connection to Sudanese traditions. As conflict continues to devastate Sudan and displace millions, Hana believes there's an urgent need to preserve the stories, humour, and wisdom of her culture, and pass it on to the next generation.

Working from his remote home on the SW coast of Ireland, and inspired by the natural beauty of the wild Atlantic coast, Owen shares his colourful creative journey—from traditional family techniques to his innovative “flow stitching” and narrative-inspired projects. Known for his playful globe-trotting character Seamus O'Comanssy, and his ever-evolving quilt project, Owen reveals how he blends art, storytelling, and textile heritage to create pieces that are as personal as they are visually striking.

Remote Creativity: How life on SW Ireland's wild Atlantic coast and the surrounding natural world shape his work. Flow Stitching: His distinctive, freeform stitching style that tells a narrative as it evolves. Seamus O'Comanssy – The Creative Proxy: The story behind his character Seamus and how it bridges his passion for travel and art, sharing creativity and interesting insights into other people's creative lives. Quilt Project: Insights into his ongoing quilt project assembled from recycled, stitched squares. Commissioned Works: How Owen tailors designs—using personal motifs, astrological signs, and indigenous symbols—for bespoke commissions. Digital Storytelling: His use of social media (Facebook and Instagram) to share his creative process and connect with fellow textile enthusiasts. Narrative & Folklore: Drawing on Irish oral traditions and global folk tales to imbue his work with hidden meanings.

Welcome back to The Freaky Deaky, friends and fiends, this week we're diving into part one of what is sure to be an ongoing foray into the realm of little folk. I've spent a great deal of time combing through cultures all over the world, and was absolutely astounded by the sheer volume of lore that surrounds these beings. It seems that practically every single culture around the globe has some kind of intriguing tale about little people. In part one we'll be taking a peek into the Duendes of the Philippines, The Aluxes of Mayan culture and Leprechauns and fairies from the Celtic side of things. Stay tuned til the end for a glimpse into which cultures we'll be looking into next week in Part 2. I can honestly see this being upwards of a 10 part series in the future. There is truly so many different names for these entities, and a lot of them bare some striking similarities. It'll be fun to unravel over time. But for now, we're diving into Duendes, Aluxes and Leprechauns in just a moment. We'll see you on the inside.. ----- Time Stamps: 0:00 - Tiny Little Folk Lore 0:51 - Intro Music 2:12 - Chrissy Chamomile 2:45 - Thanks, We Know We're Ugly 5:25 - The Duende of Filipino Lore 9:23 - Let Us Know If Anything Is Incorrect, Mmkay? 14:27 - Christian: A Pervert Confirmed 14:46 - STORY: The Lechuza & The Duende 19:50 - STORY: My Aunt's House 25:30 - Why Don't Western Cultures Believe? 27:27 - The Aluxes of Mayan Lore 31:28 - Folktales of The Mayan Aluxes? 37:23 - Celtic Lore of Fairies & Leprechauns 39:27 - At This Point, F*ck Superman, Okay? 43:23 - STORY: The Dancing Leprechaun 47:22 - Differentiating Between Dreams & Reality 49:03 - STORY: Leprechauns Are Tiny Nephilim 52:53 - Classic Nephilim 56:48 - Outro -------- If you want to become a producer, visit this link: http://bit.ly/3WZ3xTg Episode Producer: Eric Long -------- The Twilight Zone meets Mystery Science Theatre 3000 meets an uncomfortable Thanksgiving dinner conversation with your in-laws.

In this special Folktales episode, we decided to give you something different in the form of FIVE stories that we read to you for the first time on the spot! and ngl, they are a little… middle-fingery. But hey, that's the dice you roll when you play the game of folktalesStory 1: Domingo's Cat In this one, we find a fiscal feline who is both a work horse and giver. The cat can talk, has a magic hole, and trolls bacon (you'll get it when you listen), all normal Brazilian cat stuff. Story 2: Sweet Porridge WHATS ANOTHER WORD FOR ‘STOP'?!? Like, for real. What else do you say in this situation? Anyways. Always take a little pot from an old lady in the woods. Story 3: Their Soft Crowns DiscoveredThis story is about . Fowls are such a weak tribe… Story 4: The Wolf and the ManYeah, but can you fight?? This is a story about putting your money where your mouth is. Don't let men hear it though.

Welcome to Banter-ville USA, population Madi, Gabby, and you. We do eventually get to Folktales though, and they go like this:Story 1 | Chinese New Year: here's a nice quick, straightforward one, we genuinely have no idea why we were so confused... but this is the story of the origin of Chinese New Year celebrations! You can expect a problematic (albeit only once a year) monster, a "newcomer", and a homeowning granny.Story 1.5 | Gabby's Off-the-Dome Chinese Zodiac Story: we will for sure come back to this one later, but here's a little sneaky-peaky. We love a freestyle here at Spill the Mead.Story 2 | The White Bear King: WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN AND IS THIS BEAR HOT?! In this Norwegian tale, we go for a gosh darn ride you guys... The bear is hot (we think), the princess is a dreamer, the twist is plural. The big take away here is, you can't just be a bear at some point in your life, and then not be hot if you're in human form. Right?

Folktales around the fire, gooding & mumping and the terrifying Hooden Horse are just some of England's winter folk traditions from history. In this episode, Dan explores the unlikely and often dark origins of some of our Christmas traditions that can be traced back thousands of years. He's joined by folklore historian Vikki Bramshaw, to discover what midwinter legends were brought over with the Anglo-Saxon invasion, the origins of the Yule log and some of the unusual ways people passed the long nights in rural England (fortune-telling chestnuts).He also explores the New Forest, Hampshire, with local historian Richard Reeves to find out more about how medieval people survived the cold winters in the woods.You can discover more in Vikki's book 'New Forest Folklore, Traditions and Charms'.This is episode 4 of our 'Origins of Christmas' series. This December, Dan explores the history behind our Christmas traditions—from extravagant Tudor feasts and carolling to midwinter Solstice celebrations, the bawdy entertainment of the Georgians, and the family-focused customs of the Victorians.Produced by Mariana Des Forges.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.
