Folk-a-Dilly Tales
Here we tell folk tales in three different ways, based mostly on stories we have found over the years. These can be true tales or legends from the past. Some are murder stories, some are ghost stories and some relate to historic characters with intriguing tales.
Told verbally as a story, with poems and music to enhance the story telling experience. This is an epic podcast!
