Season 3 Episode 7: A Fish In The Net - Folklore of Fish And The Sea

Here it is! The seventh episode of Season 3 of the podcast, the last episode of the season but you will be pleased to know I'm already working on Season 4! I know this episode is a little late but last month was a little bit crazy in one way or another. Hopefully this episode finds you well and you will enjoy a little fishy folklore.This month’s theme is ‘A Fish In The Net’ and for this episode I have some a trip to the beach, the shanty ‘When The Boat Comes In’ some selected folklore of fish and the story of ‘The Fisherman And The Fish’.On occasion there are dark folkloric characters explored in this podcast and so, as always,  I would recommend that you should listen through first before listening with younger members of your household. To 'Rewild Yourself Through Story', join me on patreon for digital zines, a book club, audio stories, previews, earlier extended versions of this podcast and online workshop.www.patreon.com/ddstorytellerFor more stories woven with folklore and the old ways you can find me via the following channels:www.facebook.com/ddstorytellerwww.instagram.com/dd_storyellerReferencesBooksBreverton, Terry (2010) Breverton’s Nautical Curiosities: A Book Of The Sea, Quercus.Dent, Susie, (2018) Brewers Dictionary Of Phrase & Fable.Russell et al (1973), Folklore.
