It’s Saturday, which means that it’s time for another Saturday Round-up, a time to discuss all the great episodes we’ve had this week. This week has been a great one. On Tuesday, we heard some material gathered at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in September. On Wednesday, we aired an episode titled “Dead Men Do Tell Tales," a collection of heartwarming tales about the dead still speaking to the living. On Thursday, we shared an episode all about wolves and their role in folklore. Today we're excited to bring you the best of all three episodes.

Today, we'll start off with a discussion with experts Dr. Tony Brown, Dr Kayta Jordan, and Dr Luke Howard about Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, and wolfs in folklore. After that, stories from Adam Booth, Sean Buvala, Mark Binder, all make for an exciting episode you won't want to miss!

This episode contains stories inspired by the dead. Dead men tell no tales? We don’t think so! We’ve included stories from Motoko, Joel Ben Izzy, Andy Offutt Irwin, and our very own Sam Payne.

In today’s episode, we’re reminiscing the 2018 Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. We had such a great time, that we just had to share stories from the Timp 2018 tellers and conversations that we had with festival goers.

Stories and snippets that we’ve adored from the week of October 15, 2018 to October 20, 2018. The stories are from our episodes “Daniel’s Favorites,” “Unconventional Solutions to Problems,” and “The Mummy’s Curse.” The tellers featured are Antonio Sacre, Motoko, Anthony Burcher, Kevin Cordi, Syd Lieberman, David Holt, and Daniel Bishop.

Today’s episode is a collection of spooky stories related to curses, treasures, and the undead. From the deck of the Titanic to a tiny ghost town down South, nowhere is safe from the reach of those who have passed on. In these stories, told by David Holt, Daniel Bishop, Dan Marcotte, Judith Heineman, Beth Horner, and Octavia Sexton, the dead have come back with a vengeance.
