About I Might Believe in Faeries

This is a podcast about stories, myths and Catholicism. Stories are how we orient ourselves in the world. In Catholicism, we believe in the Greatest Story: Christ crucified and resurrected. We participate in His story through ritual worship; the liturgy. Even in the Catholic Church, these truths are often forgotten or ignored. My mission for this podcast is to explore storytelling, myths, and how these fit into Catholicism. I will cover Catholic fantasy and science fiction authors, mythology, folklore and the Catholic faith. aaronirber.substack.com (https://aaronirber.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast)

And I do think that the Soldier series is a nice inversion of the Book of the New Sun. where you have a narrator with perfect memory at the start of history. And then he inverted that to start with Herodotus, right? The father of history, more or less. Herodotus' history is the first kind of... He's trying to be objective in his recording of the Persian conflict between Greece and Persia and give you all the background and understanding there. Almost like... If I were writing in the 1980s about the Vietnam War, that's kind of the way that, you know, his position in time was compared to the Persian conflict there. […]
