Fireside Canada
David Williams
Fireside Canada is a podcast about Canadian legends, lies and lore. I’m talking flying canoes, deals with the devil, incompetent pirates, phantom trains, mysterious creatures, tormented spirits, messages from beyond the grave, and swamp witches with a passion for real estate—and that’s just the first season. Focused on both the storytelling and the historical aspects of folklore, each episode includes a creative retelling or story inspired by the folklore as well as an exploration and analysis of its history and cultural significance: the story behind the story. So grab a drink, take a seat by the fire, and join me as I share and explore the tall tales and ghost stories, classic legends and modern myths of a place called Canada.
