"Stories that Must be Told" (S3, #3)

Wise Crone Cottage Podcast

In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock explores the stories that must be told and what happens when we try to forget them. We'll look at three tales from India. Each one addresses stories that are untold, the need to find a willing audience, and the consequence when they are hidden. Finally, we'll discuss how traditional stories from the oral tradition, hold the truth and history that needs to be remembered. As the keepers of stories, we must learn from the tellers of long ago - why these stories were used in the past and how they might be essential to the future.
