  • S3 Ep2: Drop By Drop || Folklore, Part II

    S3 Ep2: Drop By Drop || Folklore, Part II
    Sep 20 2022
    This week, Rhiannon reads “The Water Mother”, a Chinese folk tale. Listeners may recognize a particular noodly children’s story of the same type (ATU 565). We explore the role of folklore in the development of cultural identity, using Chinese and Finnish stories as our primary examples, and then let the science behind artesian springs send us on a journey through human use of water, from religion to relaxation.

    This podcast is produced and edited by me, Rhiannon. Music written and performed by our resident noisemaker, Tay Clarke. Find the tell online at www.thatsnicepod.com, or follow our Instagram, @thatsnicepod.

    To kick off a brand-new season, Rhiannon explores storytelling, fantastical features, and moral duality. Hear about what makes a fairy tale different from other kinds of narrative, why there’s no such thing as new content, and who wrote the first bedtime story. Enjoy the primer that will set us up for the next several months of tell tales with Rhi. :)

    S2 Ep14: Save Your Student ID
    Mar 22 2022
    This week, Rhiannon has a (probably literal) bone to pick with a certain London-based institution. She discusses the history of museums from ancient times to present day, and goes on several long digressions about related concepts. Topics include public mourning, animals as entertainment, what feels like the entire state of Pennsylvania, and the institutionalized “finders keepers” mentality. This podcast is produced and edited by me, Rhiannon. Music written and performed by our resident noisemaker, Tay Clarke.
