It's our last episode of the season and we are revisiting a tale we've covered before: Tannakin Skinker. This story is like Cinderella, if Cinderella were a pig faced woman who was forced into marriage to get rid of a curse. Kinda close right? 
The non-profit pairing this week is Girls Inc (https://girlsinc.org/). We will be making a donation, and we hope you do too.
Hosted by Rachael Marr and Mindy Scott. Audio production and music by Aaron Crossland. Researched and written by Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr. Episode music by F. Laroque, available at flarocque.bandcamp.com.

Tannakin Skinker

Folklore has been used for generations to share stories across cultures. Each week this season Rachael and Mindy, walk the winding path of folklore. They ask how the stories we tell influence today’s culture and how we view women. From murder ballads to fairytales, we discuss the power these stories have over us all. It won’t be just sad but maybe, just maybe, also uplifting.  Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/femlore-podcast/support

Snow White

This week in honor of Mother’s day we are talking to Rachael’s mom, Paula Howie. We talk about Hansel and Gretel, and how Rachael’s dad was apparently terrified of this story. Makes sense though, there is a lady in the woods waiting to cook children… Good thing Hansel has Gretel around to save the day.
