Episode 29 of Graveyard Coffee Talk is live on Apple, Spotify, Google, and Stitcher.

Grab your favorite hot beverage and settle in with Amanda and Corinne as they dig into the concept of Fakelore! Amanda finds American examples containing a lot of capitalism and cultural appropriations (seriously guys, support your local unions and stop appropriating Native culture!), while Corinne digs into the academic side of Fakelore (as a note: She 100% misunderstood an article she read, Hans Moser was writing in the 1960s, not the 1930s as stated in this episode). From there, things get a little unhinged as we discuss the intersection of fakelore, folklore, and online storytelling.
