  • Summary

  • Hello, my name is James, and i love folk tales and fairy tales; i love hearing them, and i love telling them. People have been sharing stories as long as there have been people to listen. In the time before mass media, stories were used to explain the world around us, to educate, and of course, to entertain. In a tavern, a market square, or around a fire, stories were shared everywhere.

    Even in today's hectic world, story is still one of the main ways people share information.

    In The Firelight is a weekly podcast where you'll hear some of the great folktales, myths, and legends from the world over.

    Some you may have heard many times, while others may be new to you. Either way, I hope you'll find them entertaining, enlightening, and maybe even educational.

    So please join me won't you?

    I'll be here every week with a different story, and I'll save you a spot In The Firelight.
