Episode 15: Introduction To Folklore Genres

This episode of the Folklore & Fiction podcast was first published as a newsletter in January 2019. In it, I'll be introducing you to folklore genres with help from scholars Alan Dundes and others, discussing how the concept of genre can be both helpful and problematic, detailing a few ways to classify genres, and showing you how to use this information as a storyteller.
