Episode 49: "Leprechauns in Spaaaace!!"
Hosts: Sarah and Michael
"Ireland is full of lore and mysticism. From fairies who are in touch with nature, luring strangers to their time transporting fairy rings. To Pooka's, ghostly horses who beckon both good and bad omens. And the legendary Finn McCool... who gains knowledge by sucking his thumb. But nothing is more symbolically tied to Ireland than the Leprechauns, magical creatures who tempt with wishes and gold. Join Michael and Sarah as they create a story surrounding the Leprechaun with possibilities beyond space and time."
This is the first episode Michael and I hosted!!
For this episode I did the writing prompt and research. At first the general theme was going to simply be about Irish lore and mythology, but it really is so vast that each creature and theme can have its own episode, so I narrowed it down to Leprechauns, which a lot of people associate with Ireland, and it's still the month of St. Patrick's Day.
Goodness, though I did fall down the rabbit hole in regards to Fairy Rings while researching, watched someone's "true story" retelling, and was so creeped out that night I had to sleep with a night light. (Yes, I sleep with a night light when I'm creeped out, but on a positive note it doesn't happen that often.) There's a lot to play with and explore in mythology, and there are so many myths and legends, etc, that it's just one big giant sand box.
Hope you can listen! If you can I hope you find it fun and creativity inspiring.
Sarah
