About this listen

Hi friends! This month’s episode is an adaptation of a fairy tale found in several cultures called “Why the Sea is Salt”.

In this adaptation, a young woman trades for a magic quern (or hand mill) that can produce anything she requests. It’s a story where sharing and selflessness are rewarded and greed and selfishness reap what they have sown.

Thank you so much for supporting this podcast – I hope you enjoy this twist on a classic tale!
