Listen "The Devil and the Blacksmith"
Episode Synopsis
Join us and special guest Mark Norman of The Folklore podcast as we discuss the ancient story of The Devil and The Blacksmith. This universal tale can be seen in many cultures all over the world, but we've stuck with two fascinating tales from Britain. How does St. Dunstan, the patron saint of smiths, beat the devil? And what happens if you leave your horse and payment at Wayland's Smithy? Listen in for two stories and some great insights on the tales from Mark. Wyrd Folk is a duelling folk storytelling podcast. Every episode will contain two stories for your listening pleasure, and you are the final judge of which one of us told the best version of the tale. Once you've listened, tell us which one you liked best by heading over to the episode blog on our website to vote on the episode poll for that story. https://www.wyrdfolkpod.com/episodes-1Remember to keep writing wyrd!
