Send us a textGeorge Blevins has called Colorado's Front Range his home for over half his life, moving in the early 1980s. He says the time in his adult life before then “hardly seems to count, especially since I'm 85 and I don't remember all that stuff very well.”Before Colorado, Blevins grew up in rural Louisiana. As a child, he and his parents lay in bed together every Sunday morning to read The Sunday Funnies from The Sunday Times. Those comics, particularly Pogo, instilled a lifelong passion for Blevins. From then on, all he wanted to do was find opportunities as a cartoonist for comic strips. Thank you for listening to The Mountain-Ear Podcast, featuring news and culture from peak to peak!

Zadnjič smo slišali, kako so Simoni pokazali svoje spretnosti. Kaj je torej tokrat uspel videti in slišati drugi Simon?Vir: The Project Gutenberg eBook of Folk Tales from the Russian Retold by Verra Xenophontovna Kalamatiano de Blumenthal, Great Neck, New York, Boise State University Library, First Published 1903 Reprinted 1979, iz angleščine prevedla in priredila Nataša Holy, bere Nataša Holy

Once upon a time, 2 c*nts sat down to read some folktales from around the world. These are these stories:Tale 1: Tanuki's Gold (Japan)A tanuki is a Japanese racoon dog that shape shifts from time to time and brings good fortune. Now we will say, the one in this story doesn't necessarily shape shift (that we know of anyways) but he does bring fortune and most importantly. FRIENDSHIP! This one is really sweet, you guys.Tale 2: Horse-Dew and the Witch (Turkey)Say it out loud before you listen: what do you think "Horse-Dew" is!!?? How wrong were you? We've got a classic double-life story going on here, and unless you have Islamic Folklore knowledge, this one will keep you guessing. A royal, 3 daughters, a witch, a couple with magical powers that is still somehow struggling... this one has everything.Tale 3: The Mitten (Ukraine) This one is VERY sound effect and voice acting heavy, so you are WELCOME for that. How many animals can fit into a single mitten? Let's see....

Ruske pripovedke so vedno nekaj posebnega. V tej lahko zasledimo, da je prelepa Helena enkrat kraljična, drugič princesa in tretjič kraljevna. In ko se je kraljevna Helena odločila, da se bo poročila, je njen oče takoj opustil svoje strašne grožnje možnim ženinom in se sprijaznil s tem, da ga bo zapustila.Kaj pa je ikona? Svete ikone so slike ali mozaiki Kristusa, Device Marije ali kakšnega svetnika ali mučenca ruske cerkve. V vsaki ruski hiši jih je ena ali več, obešenih na vidnem mestu. Vsak, ki vstopi v hišo, se najprej prikloni in izreče molitev pred ikonami, preden stori karkoli drugega. To je star ruski običaj, ki ga kmetje še vedno ohranjajo. Pa še nekaj: močno zeleno vino je opis, ki ga ruski pripovedovalci še danes uporabljajo za opis pijače, ki jo je bilo čast prejeti iz kraljeve roke. Tudi ta je kot mnoge druge ruske pripovedke zelo dolga. Danes je na vrsti prvi del, drugi del pa čez tri dni.

Episode 561 - Joesph Bolton - Old Grandmother's Tree - Celebrating Cultures and History through FolktalesAbout the AuthorJoseph Bolton was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island during the twilight of the golden age of French-Canadian culture in New England. Growing up emersed in his mother's French-Canadian family, Joseph enjoyed hearing the stories told by his grandparents and great aunts of a mysterious and magical place called Québec, otherwise known as “the place we came from.”After high school, Joseph's adventurous nature led him to enlist in the U.S. Army and he served in the Army's airborne forces as a paratrooper jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, much to the worry of his mother.Since he retired from the Army, Joseph has worked in various project manager roles as a civilian contractor for the U.S. Air Force. While writing Old Grandmother's Tree, Joseph took a sabbatical from the U.S. Air Force and taught mathematics to young students for a semester at Holy Family Academy in Gardner Massachusetts.Bolton is of French-Canadian, Native American, Spanish, English, and Irish descent, and is profoundly inspired by the stories of his heritage. He lives with his wife in Massachusetts, and, in his free time, enjoys hiking and skiing through Québec and New England landscapes. His favorite places to go for outdoor adventure are the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts and Mont-Orford in Québec. When he is not writing, hiking, or skiing, Joseph enjoys reading about science, history, philosophy, mathematics, and worldwide mythologies. Old Grandmother's Tree is his first book.Meet the IllustratorAbout Natasha Pelley-SmithNatasha Pelley-Smith, born in Toronto, is a seasoned professional artist who graduated from the prestigious Écohlcité fine arts academy in France, in 2017—now integrated into Émile Chol of Lyon.

Send us a textConductor Brad Swartzwelter's primary interest has always been trains, even from before he can remember. When he was around two years old, his mother took him on a train ride from Denver to Ottumwa, Iowa. While he does not remember the trip, his mother says he enjoyed it greatly.As a kid, Swartzwelter's interest in trains only grew. As many kids do, he played with a train set and, further encouraging his interest, his parents would stop the car whenever they drove by a train so that he could watch it.Swartzwelter's family often vacationed at Sheriff Ranch in Granby, fishing with a lease on the Colorado River. During these vacations, he watched and waved at the Rio Grande Zephyr rolling through. For him, this fascination has been “a lifelong ailment, [for which] I've tried numerous remedies [and] there is no cure.” Thank you for listening to The Mountain-Ear Podcast, featuring news and culture from peak to peak!

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.

This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Hana Baba the storyteller on the new podcast Folk Tales from Sudan. The first season will feature 10 stories Hana grew up hearing from her uncle, but was uncertain if she should or could step into his role behind the mic. 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.

Folktales are traditions, culture and stories passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. We all have heard one form of folktale or another. Vampires, werewolves, and mermaids are some just to name a few! But what place do they have in a world of fantasy and magic?---------------Music provided by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Music also provided by Monument Studios

Veteran Oakland storyteller Diane Ferlatte tell us why it's important to own our cultural stories in an excerpt from "The Stoop" podcast. And, Hana heeds the call and launches her own folktale podcast, telling stories from Sudanese folklore in "Folktales from Sudan"

Join Mistress Syren and guests as they discuss "what would witches do?!" The ins-and-outs of the Fae folk, the discussion then turns to Folk Tales and Ettique, and wraps up with some thoughts about how to work with good neighbors. 

“This generation of storytellers are ageing. Our elders are ageing. I am the one who needs to start this preservation process — at least in my family,” says Hana Baba, a Sudanese-American journalist and podcaster. 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.
