Willing & Fable: Recent Episodes
Rowan Hall and Tracey Harrison
In this podcast, Rowan Hall and Tracey Harrison talk to you about ancient myths, local legends, and why stories have staying power.
Each week we bring you new stories and talk about why these myths, fairy tales, fables, folktales and legends have such power in our society.
Check us out each week and join us on our mythical journey.
Our logo was designed by Jamie Harrison and our music was written and performed by Taylor Ash. Find out more about them on our website willingandfable.com
For the 125th episode, Rowan and Tracey go all the way back to the beginning and ask: what is mythology? They discuss the history and science behind storytelling, the chemical effects of religion on the brain, and whether or not trees have their own versions of folklore.
Tracey tells us an original love story about the sun and the moon, and Rowan’s tale explores an AI coming to terms with its sentience.

This week, Rowan presents the mythologies of goblins from around the world—knockers, red caps, duendes, and dokkaebi (to name a few). We also learn about the ways goblins have been used as harmful antisemitic tropes and discuss other symbols from religion and folklore that have been used to influence public perception.
Note: In this episode, we discuss the current genocide of Palestinians being perpetrated by Israel. At the time of our research, According to Aljazeera, as of January 24th, 2024, “more than 85 percent of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been displaced amid continued Israeli ground and air offensive that has killed more than 25,000 people, including 10,000 children.” Upon posting this episode, as of March 12, 2024, Aljazeera reports, “At least 31,045 Palestinians have been killed and 72,654 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.”
The Willing & Fable podcast stands with Palestine. For more information about where we donate and cited news sources from the episode, see the show notes.

Continuing their conversation examining stories about the threads of fate, Rowan and Tracey discuss the Three Fates of Ancient Greek Mythology: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. Tracey tells a story from the perspective of god experiencing manic love, the pair learn about marriage practices in Ancient Greece and China, and they explore reasons why stories of fated love might be especially important for young women in arranged marriages.

Continuing their discussion on the Bermuda Triangle, Tracey presents theories about time travel, parallel universes, the lost city of Atlantis, methane gas, and UFOs.
Rowan tells her story from the perspective of a god, exploring heaven, hell, and chronic illness. The pair also geek out about one of their favorite poets: the man, the myth, the legend, T.S. Eliot. (What can we say? Sometimes the episode sparks a variety of conversations.)

This week, the discussion gets pointed (that's a triangle joke) when Tracey and Rowan explore the mythology of the Bermuda Triangle. Stories include the misadventures of Christopher Columbus, wandering ghost ships, ocean farts caused by methane gas, an FBI investigation, and the mysterious disappearance of Flight 19.
The pair also reads the last transmissions from military training Flight 19 before the planes (and their eventual rescue party) disappeared.

In this week’s episode, Rowan explores the lore of lycanthropes–those unfortunate souls who transform into wolves under the full moon.
We explore numerous versions of werewolf mythology, the way these stories were used against innocents throughout history, how modern medicine has affected the discussion, and ways someone might gain this transformative power.

In Episode 106, Rowan tells us the history of Hans Christian Andersen and the many people he longed for the course of his life. Our hosts discuss his fairy tales, anxiety, queer identity…and that time he pissed off Charles Dickens.
Was he bisexual? Was he ace? Did he compare himself to a snowman in love with a stove? (The world may never know.)

Join us this week to explore the myths (and mythos) that surround the famed French spirit: absinthe. We’re diving deep into the culture of art and alcoholism following the French Revolution. The artists of the Belle Epoch may have been sad bois on a lot of drugs, but we promise there will be at least one Green Fairy.

We’re kicking off spooky season with what may be one of the eeriest true-history stories we’ve had on the show.
In this two part series, Rowan presents the story of L’Inconnue de la Seine or, The Drowned Mona Lisa. Our hosts discuss the Victorian “culture of looking”, the famous Paris Morgue, death masks, drowning…and how it’s possible that they’ve both kissed a woman from the 19th century (psst…you’ve kissed her too!)

This week, Tracey is sharing what she learned about the ancient Mesoamerican god Quetzalcoatl. His story survived centuries, spanning the rise and fall of nations to make him one of the most famous shape-shifting gods of the modern world.
Quetzalcoatl is part bird, part snake; sometimes a god’s terrifying pet, sometimes a man and creator god in his own right. “Buckle up, Buttercup”, this mythological history is an exciting ride.

The podcast is getting heated this week! Rowan explains why the world keeps referencing the Ancient Greek play “Lysistrata” in the wake of Judge Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
She also teaches us about the history of sex strikes, Romania’s Decree 770 outlawing abortion, and how the chainsaw was actually invented for use in childbirth.

That painting is of Dido Elizabeth Belle, a mixed raced woman in high society and her cousin Elizabeth Murray. Join us as we discuss society, culture, and race in Georgian England.

Thea has successfully convinced her old friend, the very nervous librarian Byron, to join the team and gain them access to the restricted portion of the Lassera Library. Now, the unlikely trio should be able to steal the heretical texts fairly easily…If Roslyn can cause a large enough distraction to stop the city guard from catching them (again).
To hear the previous chapter of The Wizard & The Rogue, join us in Episode 72.
We love a good dog! This week the pair explores the stories that surround one of the most famous dogs in history — Cerberus, the three headed hound who guards the Underworld.

This week Rowan and Tracey discuss the links between cats and femininity; and the disastrous effects it’s had on women and pets. They explore the many stories surrounding the Sphinx, and take listeners through the history of cats and sexism. From historical suffragette memes, to modern expressionist theatre, as Robert Heinlein says, “Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, Tracey teaches us about Leprechauns. Turns out, all that green Guinness and Lucky Charms have nothing to do with the lore of these small, shoe-cobbling fae. (Hint: This episode involves way more discussion of deep lake monsters that we ever could have guessed.)

Willing & Fable hosts a double episode this week, with Rowan and Tracey covering “water demons” from around the world - Scottish Kelpies and Japanese Kappa. You do not want to run into this terrifying murder-horse or frog-like turtle creature while out for a swim.
Our advice when going near any foreboding bodies of water: don’t touch any horses and always bring a cucumber.

To hear the previous Chapter of “The Wizard & The Rogue” join us in Episode 66.
This week Rowan talks about one of the most famous duos in Greek mythology. She tells the tale of Achilles and Patroclus

To kick off Season 3, the Willing & Fable team explores the true history of the Greek poetess Sappho. Rowan and Tracey discus whether or not she truly fits the “lesbian” and “sapphic love” labels that were named based on her romantic work. (Plus, Tracey may just have written the podcast's most amazing poem!)

For the final episode of the season, we're telling winter stories from the north: Snegurochka, the Snow Maiden, and the troll Gryla (with her 13 Yule Lads and Yule Cat). This episode will get you in the holiday spirit with magically crafted snow-children, scary trolls, mischievous lads, and a giant man-eating Christmas cat.
