The Old Bearded Man – Spoken Word

The Old Bearded Man – Spoken Word

Yesterday I was asked by my pals at the Folkcast podcast to create an audio spoken word piece for one of their forthcoming seasonal shows. The piece they asked for was one of my recent posts – The Old Bearded Man – based on the myth of the dying and resurrecting Corn God.

Well, of course I said yes. So here’s the recording. I hope you enjoy it!
