Global Storytime Podcast

Folktales from around the world.

About the show

Welcome to the Global Storytime Podcast! Every two weeks I release a pair of episodes that help us explore another corner of the world. The first episode is a story from a different country or culture that is perfect for listeners young and old. The second episode shares the history, languages, favorite foods and sports, and more from the country or culture featured.

So grab a blanket, a stuffie, or a cup of tea and settle in for our journey. Are you ready? Let's go!
