In this podcast, host Katie Marquette explores ancient myths using Tolkien's belief in "eucatastrophe" (“the good catastrophe, the sudden joyous turn, the mark of all fairy tales”) and "true myths" as a guide. You’ll hear a bit of history, a bit of philosophizing, a lot of rich sound-design, and compelling stories of lost worlds.

In this episode, we explore the whimsical, magical land of fairies - a place where a 100 years can pass in one night, where 'what is lost can be restored.' With the Irish poet W.B. Yeats as our guide host Katie Marquette discusses changelings, elves, fairies, and the little people. The beautiful Celtic myths and folklore remind us of the beauty of 'what could be' beyond the hills of heather.
