Episode 187 - Drunk monks and folklore fun Feat Amy Boucher (NearlyKnowledgable)
Manage episode 324958605 series 2240291
This week we're back on our folk history grind. In wanting to find out more about the folk world and the history or all things word of mouth I caught up with Amy Boucher who is a writer and researcher of all things folk tale. From the black country of the UK I.e out Birmingham way for those who don't know she caught me up on a few tales of the black death and drunk monks.
We also discuss how superstition became part of society and how it was potentially used to deal with trauma and humans simply wanting an escape rather than as a way of making stories memorable.
We sift through the cracks of what it means to be part of the folk lexicon and how country and urban stories tend to have different tones as well as having a good old chat about the world at hand.
