We wanted to take a moment to highlight Samaritan’s Purse and the work they are doing to help the recovery in Eastern Tennessee and North Carolina after the devastating flooding that took place. Donate here: https://www.samaritanspurse.org/article/pray-for-those-in-helenes-path/
Also, all proceeds from the sale of these shirts available from the Bitter Southerner will go to disaster relief: https://bsgeneralstore.com/products/south-disaster-relief-t-shirt
Between me and God, we will discuss these tales! Into the bowels of Welsh history and myth we plummet to revel in the lush wonders that is the Mabinogion, consisting of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi, the Four Native Tales, and the Three Romances. We run through each story presented highlighting our favorite moments from this treasure trove of magic and surprise.
We open the show with a discussion of a recent Screen Rant article on the need for “world-building” and “hard magic systems” in the new Chronicles of Narnia movies. We also discuss the announcement of Saoirse Ronin’s casting in the new films to be directed by Greta Gerwig for Netflix.
If so inclined, these tales come from the Red Book of Hergest and the White Book of Rhydderch. More information and images are available for the curious here:
