Show Notes
"The boys arrive with the changing of the weather, ushered in by winter’s cold. Once a year, at the beginning of December, those silly boys who think coming here means they are brave. All of them so eager to test their worth on the edge of my husband’s axe." For this winter's solstice, we dramatize a sharp (ha, ha) story by Kat Howard ( http://www.kathowardbooks.com/ & @katwithsword) that subverts the Arthurian legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. What happens when the Green Knight's Wife has a chance to tell the story? Feat. Moira Driscoll, William Dufris, Stephen McLaughlin, and Thomas Campbell. Sound design by Rory O'Shea with music by Blue Dot Sessions ( http://www.sessions.blue/) , Mind's Eye Productions, & AudioJungle. Produced & Directed by Fred Greenhalgh, originally appearing in Uncanny Magazine - https://uncannymagazine.com/article/green-knights-wife/ Learn more about your ad choices.
