Cologne, Germany, 2013.River Reads is a program for all ages to escape into creative commons stories and fairy tales; both new and old, but mostly old, and at times macabre, or silly, or even perhaps a little confusing as written in old english and the host fumbles words, and then there’s stories that have not aged well. So if you enjoy a weird tale, join us.Support the showRiver Reads: Fairytales and StoriesHost, Producer, Composer, Narrator: River WildeCover Art: River Wilde The River Reads Show - "Not a kids show but not not a kids show"Catch River Reads on air, Saturdays at 10am -11am PST  and Sundays at 9am - 11am PST on smithersradio.comAccess additional River Reads episodes directly at smithersradio.com/program/river-readsContact the host - [email protected]
