Femlore Podcast (formally Feminist Folklore)

This week, Carlea shares a story from Hans Christian Andersen about a picky prince and a very sensitive princess. Is it a celebration of ladies' delicacy, or a send-up of the nobility's oversensitivity? Who knows! Maybe both! Audio engineering provided by Aaron Crossland. You can listen to his band, F. LaRocque, at https://flarocque.bandcamp.com. Story music: “Come and Find Me” by Eric Skiff, http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Eric_Skiff/.  Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe!

This week, Rachael shares a Gullah story about a beautiful woman who's not all she seems, much to the peril of her new husband.

This week, Carlea shares an Italian story about a breeze who just wants somebody to love. Yeah, anthropomorphic wind is a weird one, we know.

This week, guest Lauren Crossland-Marr shares a story about a Vestal virgin, a she-wolf, and some serious sibling conflict.

This week, Carlea shares a story from Ukraine about a girl, her dead boyfriend, and a big lake of tears. And OK, it's tragic and everything, but also? Relatable.

We're back in the new year with a live episode from the Chicago Podcast Festival, where Carlea and Rachael discuss a local ghost story.

This week, Rachael shares a story from Korea about a series of deals that go from bad to worse, and somehow the heroine's always the one who gets the short end of the stick.

This week, Rachael and Carlea share stories of holiday monsters: La Befana from Italy and Mari Lwyd from Wales. Except neither of these spooky figures is quite exactly what they seem . . .

This week, Carlea shares a story about an adventurous girl and a snake who respects her autonomy until a no become a yes.

This week, Rachael shares a Yakama Native American story about superhuman sisters on the hunt for a man, but not in the way you might think. There's intrigue, deer blood, and deadly tricks.
