Recorded at the Hay Festival, Dr Sian Williams talks to mythologist, writer and oral storyteller Dr Martin Shaw, who has spent three decades working at the intersection of fairy tale, myth and lived experience. The author of Courting the Wild Twin and Liturgies of the Wild, Martin makes the case for the fairy tale as one of life’s secret weapons. And why in an age of turmoil and disinformation, they might provide a route to truth. Produced by Emma Harding, BBC Audio Wales
