Welcome aboard the Story Ark! Captain Kenny Mears dives into the enduring appeal of "Jack" stories. As a classic everyman hero, Jack always finds himself in the most intriguing situations. This week, we're thrilled to present a brand new Jack story, "Jack and the Three-Headed Giant," brought to life by our talented friend, storyteller Ginger Parkinson!

Ginger, with over 22 years of storytelling experience, introduces us to another side of Jack. Tired of unpaid chores, Jack sets out to seek his fortune. His quest quickly leads him to a king, the promise of a delicious cherry pie, and an unexpected command: defeat a terrifying three-headed giant!

Listen in as Jack faces the formidable "Three-Eyes," "Two-Eyes," and "One-Eye" in a battle of wits, not strength. Discover how a clever trick with cherries helps Jack overcome this monstrous challenge and claim a hefty reward. This engaging narrative is filled with adventure, quick thinking, and classic folk tale charm.

Perfect for fans of fairy tales, giant stories, and clever heroes, this episode offers a fresh take on a beloved character. Ginger Parkinson, a member of the Utah Storytelling Guild, delivers a captivating performance that's sure to entertain listeners of all ages.
