Hey ecofictologists and welcome to episode 63 of the Ecofictology podcast! This week I’m introducing you to Kaitlyn Elverson, the engagement officer for Bug Life in the UK, who I found through the talks she gave for Buglife on the folklore of insects and on myth and mystery of folklore in the history of wildflowers and trees. I was fascinated and excited as I always am to find someone who turns to storytelling as a way to find connection to nature. Kaitlyn is also an musician and I will be linking all her various social medias below and i highly recommend you check her out. She sometimes uses her music to convey a particular message about nature, so see if you can spot them. I very much enjoyed my interview with kaitlyn and i hope you do too.
