At a time when social media stories and reels are a few seconds long and pull us away from what’s happening in the real world around us, storytelling is more important than ever. Chris Salisbury joins us to explore his book Folk Tales of the Night: Stories for Campfires, Bedtime and Nocturnal Adventures. Ancient cultures connected the pictures they saw in the stars to the land where they lived through storytelling, many of which are still told today.
