This week on River Reads’ Episode 10 - Gender Blender (Originally aired, April 29th, 2023, on Smithers Community Radio @ smitherradio.com) host narrator River Wilde reads two tales. One, a longer fairy tale, titled ‘The Blue Belt’ from the Norwegian folklore collection by Asbjørnsen and Moe’s, East of the Sun and West of the Moon and Other Tales. And a second titled, ‘King Thrushbeard’, from the Brothers Grimm's collection, Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Ending the episode with the new segment ‘Gender Blender’, where we reveal last weeks’ Episode 9, ‘Trolls, Goats and a Moon’s” 'Gender Blender' tale. The suspense!
River Reads is "not a kids show but not not a kids show". Listener discretion is advised.
For those new, or who might have missed it, ‘Gender Blender’ is a new segment introduced in Episode 9. Where each week the host selects a story and secretly flips the genders and which tale is the ‘Gender Blender’ tale, will not be revealed until the following episode. So you’ll have to stick around to find out.
This week on River Reads:
- The Blue Belt. East of the Sun and West of the Moon, and Other Tales, by Asbjørnsen, Peter Christen, 1812-1885, and Moe, Jørgen Engebretsen 1813-1882. Illustrated by Tom Vroman. Macmillan. New York, 1963.

The River Reads show is a program where those of all ages can escape into narrated fairy tales and stories; both new and old, but mostly old and at times macabre, or silly, or even perhaps a little confusing as written in old english, and then there’s those stories whose premises or message has perhaps not aged as well over the years.
