Lost Stories - Catching the Moon & The Froggy Song

About this episode

This episode revisits lost stories from the archives, focusing on tales featuring Brer Rabbit and their cultural significance.

Hey story lovers! While you’re waiting for the next new story, we’ve decided to look back into the archives at some stories that got a bit lost for a while. Every other week, we will be giving these episodes a spot light and calling them 'the lost 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!
