18 min - 50 - Life of OrangeBeard Pi
This episode is a #FolkTale from South India. It’s about a girl who married a Tiger. A tiger who loved human cooking more than cooking humans, and who could magically transform into a human shape, and talk and behave like a normal person. May make you wonder if he’s really a Human in a Tiger's body rather than a Tiger in a Human body.

I have the gift of eternal life, and knowledge of the past, the present, and the future. I’m also the son of Brahma, the creator of the Universe. By profession, I’m a traveling musician and storyteller, so the way I’m doing my job is by podcast.
In every episode, I’ll bring you Stories from India from well known Indian Mythological epics like the Ramayan and Mahabharata, to folklore including the Panchatantra, Jataka Tales, Vikram and Betaal, Akbar and Birbal, Tenali Raman, and many other regional folk tales!
