Ep 10- Gender Blender

This week on River Reads’ (April 29, 2023) Episode 10 - Gender Blender, host narrator River Wilde reads two tales. A longer fairy tale, titled ‘The Blue Belt’ from the Norwegian folklore collection by Asbjørnsen and Moe’s,  East of the Sun and West of the Moon and Other Tales. And a second titled, ‘King Thrushbeard’, from the Brothers Grimm's collection, ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’.  Ending the episode with the new segment Gender Blender, where we reveal last weeks’ Episode 9, ‘Trolls, Goats and a Moon’s” Gender Blender tale. The suspense!

For those new, or who might have missed it, ‘Gender Blender’ is a new segment introduced in Episode 9. Where each week genders will be secretly flipped in one of the tales and which tale is the Gender Blender tale, will not be revealed until the following episode. So you’ll have to stick around to find out. 

River Reads is a program for all ages to escape into creative commons bedtime stories and fairy tales; 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 stories who have not aged well.
