Folklore has been used for generations to share stories across cultures. Each week this season Rachael and Mindy, walk the winding path of folklore. They ask how the stories we tell influence today’s culture and how we view women. From murder ballads to fairytales, we discuss the power these stories have over us all. It won’t be just sad but maybe, just maybe, also uplifting.

The Little Mermaid

Join us as we discuss the ins and outs of your favorite tale from your childhood, the Little Mermaid. We are so honored to have Maddie of @chunkyandfunkymaddie also give her two cents on this really problematic tale. Side note: did you know that film critics called the Disney character, "a feminist icon?" uhhh... she couldn't speak, so... yea. And yet... feels very on brand for the 90s. Looking at you Zack Morris.

The non-profit pairing this week is The Loveland Foundation (thelovelandfoundation.org). We will be making a donation and hope you do too!

Hosted by Rachael Marr and Mindy Scott. Audio production and music by Aaron Crossland. Researched and written by Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr. Episode music by F. Laroque, available at flarocque.bandcamp.com.
