Episode: Strawberries in January: Marouckla and the 12 Months
Description: The myths and fairy tales that we’ve inherited from anonymous sources in days long past can inspire alternatives for the future. This podcast includes “Marouckla and the 12 Months,” a Slavic fairy tale that utilizes some familiar themes and inspired Neil Gaiman to write the story “October in the Chair.” “Stories grow, sometimes they shrink. And they reproduce — they inspire other stories. And, of course, if they do not change, stories die […] Stories should change you — good stories should change you.” Neil GaimanSupport the show
