Deconstructing Aesop’s Fables with Jon Wilkins

About Deconstructing Aesop’s Fables with Jon Wilkins

A lighthearted look at Aesop’s fables and what they mean in today’s world. As a social experiment, I started narrating fables using a Facebook page and Youtube channel to share. This venture has since turned into a multifaceted project and this podcast breaks down the stories.
