This week on River Reads Episode 49- Morality of Survival featuring two longer tales from the collection The Blue Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang, called, Snow-White and Rose-Read and Little Thumb, and one tale from the collection Fairy Tales as retold by Bridget Hadaway, called, Rumpelstiltzkin.

River Reads is a program where those of all ages can escape into fairy tales and strange stories; both new and old, but mostly old and at times macabre, or silly, or even perhaps a little confusing as written in old english and the host fumbles words, and then there’s those stories whose premises have perhaps not aged as well over the years. Let’s face it you can’t be too picky when you’re dependent upon free material available to you through creative commons.

River Reads is not a kids show but not not a kids show and may contain content suitable for a mature audience. Listener discretion is advised.

River Reads has won Best Podcast in the Small Market category at 2023 Broadcast Dialogue's Canadian Radio Award. All music is composed and produced by Wilde.
