#southafrica #folklore

Today we are back in the book of South African folklore written down by James A Honey. In the first story, we see baboon outwit lion with a set of falsies. In the second story we learn why Baboon has a hairless back. In the third story, we learn of a time when Lion could fly, but then loses that power. And in the final story, we learn why Lion should listen to his mother.

Listener Shoutout: to Sydney which accounts for  18% of my Aussie listeners. Sydney, capital of New South Wales and one of Australia's largest cities, is best known for its harbourfront Sydney Opera House, with a distinctive sail-like design. Massive Darling Harbour and the smaller Circular Quay port are hubs of waterside life, with the arched Harbour Bridge and esteemed Royal Botanic Garden nearby. Sydney Tower’s outdoor platform, the Skywalk, offers 360-degree views of the city and suburbs. And so I say to the listeners in Sydney Thank you and goodnight

Podcast Shoutout: Tracing Owls- An eccentrically nuanced exploration into Fortean philosophy, focusing on the roles of Mother Nature, the Trickster and the experiencer in shaping phenomena, with tremendous doses of absurdity, mischief, but also humility! Cryptids, UFOs, Paranormal phenomena, High strangeness and Fortean anomalies, do they all possibly originate from the same source? Are they actually a mirror to our own subconsciousness, and what may they teach us about ourselves? We seek to catalogue the overlooked, spotlight the disregarded, and remind that the cosmic expanse is much greater than our understanding of it!
