AboutFor ‘City of Fables’ we scouted six people in the city of Bruges, each of them with a remarkable story about an encounter with an animal. These interviews are the starting point for six pieces in which the animals get a voice of their own throughout the episode. In Celtic and other animistic traditions, an encounter with an animal is never without meaning. We used this as a red thread throughout the episodes. We subsequently connect to the wisdom and playfulness brought by a running deer, a dead fox, a love bird, a bee and a bunch of frogs. The animals get the final say. We chose to send in the second episode of the podcast: ‘Heralds of Rain’. You first hear an elderly couple who speak about the frogs in their pond and how they communicate with them. Along the way the frogs take over.
