You’ll be inspired by the stories of fascinating people who have done great things, but are otherwise just like you and me.
We’ll also stretch your imagination with Nordic folktales, reflecting on how they speak to the common humanity in all of us.

Our first folktale podcast was so popular, we thought we’d bring you another! This time we hear a tale from Finland called The Mighty Mikko, and my son Carl Stavney is the featured guest reading the classic Norwegian folktale, The Lad Who Went to the Northwind. We also bring you a lovely accordion, mandolin, and guitar piece by the Folk Voice Band out of the Seattle Area. So take a load off and listen to some storytelling and Finnish music from old Scandinavia.
