For our 50th episode (!) we feature one of the world's finest oral storytellers, Kamini Ramachandran. Note: There is some background humming noise from a ceiling fan during the story, which was recorded in Singapore, where it's very hot... don't worry, you'll tune it out.Kamini is a pioneer in the global storytelling movement. She is the creative producer of Storyfest Singapore, founding director of The Storytelling Centre Ltd and a veteran performer who has graced stages from Edinburgh to Sydney. I first saw her perform in Edinburgh many years ago and was fortunate enough to be invited to her festival in Singapore last year.In this interview, we discussed Kamini’s recent projects as well as her experience growing up in the plantations of Malaysia.

Sharon Blackie, an award-winning writer and teacher known for her works on psychology, mythology, and ecology, dives deep into transformative themes. She discusses her emotional journey of relocating to Wales and the idea of 'anchor places' in landscape and myth. Exploring the Kalyak archetype reveals the empowerment of feminine figures in folklore. Blackie reflects on modern adaptations of myths, the resilience of female tricksters like Baba Yaga, and urges us to embrace the imperfections of our world, drawing lessons from Celtic philosophy.
