Episode 31: Mohammed with the Magic Finger
<p>Hello Legends! Today, I am narrating a tale called Mohammed with the Magic Finger from Andrew Lang's Fairy books. It's a bit of an odd but enjoyable one. Mohammed is a little boy with extraordinary powers and intelligence. And his family is not all that ordinary either....</p> <p>#staylegendary</p> <p><br></p> <p>***FOLLOW US***</p> <p>Instagram: @legendarypod</p> <p>Twitter: @Legendarypod1</p> <p>Main link: <a href="https://linktr.ee/legendarypodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://linktr.ee/legendarypodcast</a></p> <p>Proud member of the Straight Up Strange Network: <a href="https://twitter.com/strangepodcasts?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.straightupstrange.com/</a></p> <p>Source: Andrew Lang's Fairy Books</p> <p>Music credits</p> <p>Intro/outro: Across the Savannah by Aaron Kenny (YouTube Audio Library)</p> <p>Other music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) or from YouTube Audio Library</p> <p>Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0</p> <p>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</p> <p>Sound effects from <a href="https://freesound.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">freesound.org</a></p> <p>Logo: Made by yours truly on Canva</p> <p><br></p>

Episode 30: Four Animal Tales from South Africa
<p>Hello Legends! Today, I am narrating four Animal folktales from South Africa! We meet several of the Ant clans, a unique Monkey who fights for justice with the help of his fiddle, a Tiger (aka Lion) who is scared of a Ram, and a boastful Lion who learns some important lessons about Man. #staylegendary</p> <p><br></p> <p>A quick note: the source for these tales was published in 1910 and thus contains some outdated and, potentially, offensive words. I am in no way endorsing the use of these words but I think that these tales should still be told as long as we acknowledge that some of the language used are no longer and <strong>should </strong>no longer be acceptable. The purpose of my podcast is to entertain, relax, and inform listeners of African-based tales – due to years and years of colonisation, African lore has been corrupted. I hope that by telling these tales, even if they do come from 'white, colonial' sources, people will become interested in the original tales and take some time to find out more about the cultures they belong to and the people to whom the stories originally belonged. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Another quick note: My good friend Dustin from<a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sandman-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> Stories Sandman Presents</a> told some tales from this book as well. His podcast is simply delightful and I highly recommend you give him a listen. </p> <p><br></p> <p>***FOLLOW US***</p> <p>Instagram: @legendarypod</p> <p>Twitter: @Legendarypod1</p> <p>Main link: <a href="https://linktr.ee/legendarypodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://linktr.ee/legendarypodcast</a></p> <p>Proud member of the Straight Up Strange Network: <a href="https://twitter.com/strangepodcasts?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.straightupstrange.com/</a></p> <p>Source: <a href="http://mythfolklore.blogspot.com/2014/06/myth-folklore-book-south-african-folk.html">South African Folk-Tales</a> by James Honey (1910)</p> <p>Music credits</p> <p>Intro/outro: Across the Savannah by Aaron Kenny (YouTube Audio Library)</p> <p>Other music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) or from YouTube Audio Library</p> <p>Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0</p> <p>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</p> <p>Sound effects from <a href="https://freesound.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">freesound.org</a></p> <p>Logo: Made by yours truly on Canva</p>
