"The Brewery of Eggs" - An Irish Story (S3, #5)

Wise Crone Cottage Podcast

In this episode, we're in the world of Irish fairies with the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock. Our story is called "The Brewery of Eggs." It's a changeling legend in which the wise old woman saves the day by bringing the right baby home. We're also going to explore how women stories may be coded, so they can share topics too difficult to address directly.
