The outlying island of Kinmen is known for "Wind Lion Gods", which protect the people from seasonal winds. Traditionally, people will place candy in the mouths of the Wind Lion God statues as a way of appeasing them.
In "Where is My Candy?", a radio play produced by RTI (which originally aired on March 14, 2014), you can follow the story of a Wind Lion God, who travels all over the island of Kinmen in search of a sweet treat. You'll find the listening link here.
The play is based on a picture storybook, also called "Where is My Candy?" (which you can find here) written and illustrated by Liz Neyens and Thomas Kuczmarski. It's the final episode in a three-part series called "Tales from an Outlying Island". All three plays in the series are based on storybooks written by a group of dedicated young Fulbright scholars based on the outlying Taiwanese island of Kinmen as part of the English Teaching Assistantship program in 2012-2013.
The authors worked with RTI's Andrew Ryan to convert the storybooks into radio plays, and in many cases they played the voices of the characters as well! Episode three features the voices of Dave Peters, Katherine Curtiss and Andrew Ryan.
