Fireside Anthology episodes

  • Heart of Darkness | 1

    This season, we dive into a somewhat controversial novella by an excellent Polish-English writer. Life in 1899 was very different from how we live today.

    That doesn't excuse how people, places, and their associated cultures are portrayed throughout this story, but it does explain it. Some of the themes in this episode are hard to listen to. Please take care when decided where and if you'll listen.

    Ah, those tricky fair folk we so often call elves. They play a large part in Christmas traditions, though their exact role or the nature of their character depends on the culture. Here for you this Christmas, we've gathered a few of the folktales gathered by the Brothers Grimm involving those infamous creatures called elves. May this episode brighten your heart this Christmas.
