    Episode 5 - Catching the Moon

    Hello and welcome to season 4 of Dragonfly Tales Podcast. Each episode we will tell you a story from around the world and share some fun and silly things with you. We’d like to thank our listeners for their patience – we’re always sorry when we have to postpone an episode but we all get sick sometimes. Coming up this season on Dragonfly Tales: - we will be joined by some amazing guest tellers - We’ll have a Christmas competition for our listeners - we also have a new Instagram account @dragonflytalespod where we will be showing your art work, clips and videos and hints to coming stories. Our story comes from a collection of stories from the Southern states of America. And features a very tricky character who loves getting up to mischief. Brer Rabbit. These stories were carried over the ocean by African slaves, and although we might now feel a bit uncomfortable with the voice of Uncle Remus (stories told through a white man's lens) these animal stories are fantastic and need to be celebrated in their own right! If you want to talk more about this important idea, then please please share your thoughts with us. emilydragonflytales@gmail.com Remember to join us over on Patreon.
