A professional storyteller since 2015, Jon is fascinated by the connections between folklore, history, landscape and identity - which he is pursuing through his PhD at the University of Brighton. In this podcast, he discusses "eco-storytelling" (the use of myth and folktale to promote environmental awareness) and illustrates how its reach can be broadened through lessons from oral history theory and subculture studies. If we are storytelling beings, what stories do we make to address urban life? How can these be brought to bear to enrich our understanding of place and its connections to ourselves?Twitter: @jonmaseFacebook: "Jon Mason Stories and Music"https://jonthestoryteller.com/https://research.brighton.ac.uk/en/persons/jon-mason
