Episode 67: The Birth of Athena with Jay Leeming

Our guest this week is Jay Leeming, a performance storyteller whose poetic way of bringing traditional stories alive has captivated audiences in theaters, schools, libraries and National Parks. He is the creator of the Crane Bag Podcast, the author of two books of poetry and the recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. Recordings and more information about his work can be found at www.JayLeeming.com.

Story begins at 36mins; use the chapter mark if you want to go straight there.

Note: we replaced the audio of the live telling with a pre-recorded story as the recording was breaking up a lot.
