Episode 141 - REBEL FOLKLORE

Rebels come in many flavours. Cultures around the world have their own examples of rebellious characters embedded within their folk tales. Some help others, some help themselves. Some you would love to meet, others you would do well to avoid.But what exactly is the meaning behind our rebellious folk characters? What purpose do their stories hold and what do they tell us about ourselves?Joining Mark Norman, creator and host of The Folklore Podcast, to discuss the role of the rebel in world folklore is returning guest Icy Sedgwick.
