Ep 20 - Into the Dark Woods 

This week marks the start of Season 3 for River Reads. Kicking off the season is Episode 20 - Into the Dark Woods, which explores some darker and melancholy themes. With this in mind, we would like to advise listeners that the content of this episode may be unsettling, as we delve into narratives that recount unfortunate events and intriguing encounters  involving enchanting and mysterious dark woods.  Episode originally airing on Smithers Community Radio, CICK 93.9FM, February 10th, 2024 at 10 AM PST.

River Reads, Episode 20 - Into The Dark Woods, we will be featuring  readings from "The Blue Fairy Book," by Andrew Lang; including, 'Rumpelstiltskin'; 'The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood'; and 'Little Red Riding-Hood'. Plus, 'The Snail and The Rose Tree' from ‘Fairy Tales and Stories’ by Hans Christian Anderson.

River Reads is not a kids show but not not a kids show. Listener discretion advised.

River Reads is the recipient of a national award, winning the 2023 Broadcast Dialogue’s Canadian Radio Awards: Best Podcast in the Small Market category. River Reads is a program where those of all ages can escape into fairy tales and 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 premise have not aged as well over the years. Let’s face it, you can’t be too picky when you’re dependent upon creative commons copy right free material.
