Kersti Ståbi, Swedish folk singer and oral storyteller explored this question in her master's degree. Searching for a way to be a tale-singer in her own mythological tradition, she looked to living practices in Korea, India and Kyrgyzstan. In this episode she discusses this process with us, the interplay between copying and creating, and the paradox of trying to recreate something that's not possible to recreate.
