For our 50th episode (!) we feature one of the world's finest oral storytellers, Kamini Ramachandran.
Note: There is some background humming noise from a ceiling fan during the story, which was recorded in Singapore, where it's very hot... don't worry, you'll tune it out.
Kamini is a pioneer in the global storytelling movement. She is the creative producer of Storyfest Singapore, founding director of The Storytelling Centre Ltd and a veteran performer who has graced stages from Edinburgh to Sydney.

I first saw her perform in Edinburgh many years ago and was fortunate enough to be invited to her festival in Singapore last year.

In this interview, we discussed Kamini’s recent projects as well as her experience growing up in the plantations of Malaysia.

Our guest this week is Clare Murphy.

Clare has been a storyteller for 14 years. She has performed in more than 20 countries, telling stories for all kinds of audiences. Her performances include shows such as “The King of Lies”; the political folkloric show set in Damascus, and playful pieces like UniVerse which explores where quantum physics, philosophy and mythology meet. She tells the story that is called for in each situation; from telling to the President of Ireland to performing at the Writers room of the Royal Shakespeare Company to working as storyteller in residence for the NHS Leadership academy.

In this episode I talk to Danica Boyce, the host of Fair Folk, an outstanding folklore podcast.
Clarification from Danica: The version of the Cruel Mother that she sings is by Shirley Collins, an English singer; the song is English/Scottish but the lines about the afterlives are from The Maid and the Palmer, a ballad collected from an Irish traveller.
