- Season 2 | Ep 43 | The Peasant and the Apple Tree | An Aesop Fable from Greece
Fables are some of the world's oldest set of stories. They stories have survived the times, been passed on orally for centuries, instructed and inspired listeners in every era.
While it is easy to tell a fable and prescribe a moral, I feel its power is better utilised when it is told to invite introspection, dialogue and discovery.
Listen to The Peasant and the Apple Tree in your Classroom to discuss about trees that don't flower, or introduce this story in your Living Room to reassure a late bloomer in the family, or use this story in the Boardroom to have a difficult conversation about an underperforming business, team or employee.

13m | Sep 15, 2023 - Season 2 | Ep 41 | The Nail | A Grimms Brothers Fairytale from Germany
"For want of a nail the shoe is lost, for want of a shoe the horse is lost, for want of a horse the rider is lost." You have surely heard the proverb before! Here is the story that inspired English writer and George Herbert to write it.
A crisp story that will help you gently nudge conversations around procastination, be careful when retelling this story in the Classroom, Living Room or Boardroom. Refrain from from telling it as a prescriptive, precautionary-tale. Don’t use this story to instil a sense of foreboding, failure or defeat in your listener.
Instead, use it to understand what is stopping your child, sister or colleague from taking the right steps. For all you know, they are unable to take the first step. Help them lay the steps out and take action.

Why Trees Stopped Moving is a fascinating folktale from Nicobar Islands that blends in ideas of forests, trees, climate change, intergenerational relationships and migration. Like always, this story resonates equally within the classroom, living room and boardroom.
As a storyteller I feel deeply indebted to folklorists who have gathered these stories from authentic sources to tell them in books and anthologies.

"What's the one story you remember from your childhood?" I asked a room full of IT professionals.
"Emperor's New Clothes" was the story that I heard in my first corporate workshop.
"Does the story speak to you today?" I asked.
"More than it did in my childhood," came the reply.
This was in 2014.
Since then, Emperor's New Clothes has been in my story bag, amongst the few fairy tales that I tell.
This is a valuable story in every audience. Go ahead and enjoy this one!

Watch stories from Ganga Utsav:
Life on a River is a YSB Original Story written & performed at Ganga Utsav 2020. This is a YSB Original story. No reproduction / retelling is allowed.
This is the story of two generations of fisherman who are divided and united by the river Ganga. One stands on the banks of the river that looked at the river as the giver, the other stands on the bank of the river where he is the taker. Between the two generations of fishermen, between a grandfather and his grandson, who wins?
This story is based on the lives of fishermen living along the Ganga. While touching upon the realities of the fisherman community, the fishing trade, economics and livelihood, this is a story based on research and real-life events.
The Tribals of Jharkhand have fought for 'jal, jungle & jameen' for hundreds of years. Their struggles of resistance are born out of the myths, legends & folklore that have fuelled tribals to defend their water bodies, the forests & their land. What are those stories? Are the stories meant to inspire the Tribals only? Listen to this original story that brings together myths, legends & folklore with contemporary fiction.
This story was originally written & performed at Ganga Utsav 2021. This is a YSB Original story. No reproduction / retelling is allowed.

The Legend of Mullah Nasruddin never fails to create magic!
The stories make you laugh, make you think, and question something that you know. If told right, every story will give you something to talk about.
In the previous season, we had a story, The Smell of Bread, another Nasruddin Story that opens up interesting thoughts and conversations about money and compensation.
"How Far Does my Voice Go?" is perhaps the shortest story on this podcast!!
All it takes is 100 seconds of storytelling to take a story like this to your Classroom, Living Room or Boardroom.
Listen to this story and my thoughts AFTER it to find some interesting ways to trigger conversations.
"How Far Does my Voice Go?" is also a question that I asked myself.
How far does the sound waves of THIS PODCAST go? Listen to the Episode to find out the list of countries where listeners listen to these stories!!

13m | Jul 14, 2023 - Season 2 | Ep 32 | Kokras Kuni Zang | An Indian (Kashmiri) Proverb
Kokras Kuni Zang is a Kashmiri Proverb that means "an adamant / stubborn person."
This is one of the few proverbs that has an 'original' story attached with it. Or at least, that's how I found it and so did the writer / storyteller who wrote the book I found it in.
Proverbs, idioms or Corporate Jargons are extremely popular in everyday vocabulary. By sharing a proverb, a common phrase, or a jargon you tend to create a sense of shared understanding. However, what's more interesting is when you SHOW what you mean with a story.
Enjoy this episode of the podcast where we speak in terms of proverbs and jargons and how to engage your listeners The Storied Way!

11m | Jun 30, 2023 - Season 2 | Ep 30 | The Sheep and The Pig Who Went Into The Woods To Live By Themselves | A Norwegian Folktale
This Norwegian Folktale is entertaining wherever you choose to tell it...in the Classroom, Living Room or Boardroom. And true to every other story in this podcast, this one will trigger conversations, introspections and discussions.
There is a WOLF in this one...two, in fact! And like every other story about wolves, I suspect these are NOT the bad ones. I would rather have you listen to this story and tell me what do you think.
In the classroom, use this story to study the themes of farm animals, building a home, a fun folktale that has elements of a cumulative tale.
In the Living Room, talk about YOUR home. How did you and your family make a home out of a house? How did your family deal with challenges, or the wolves who threatened your home?
In the Boardroom, let this be a story to discuss what makes your team an A-Team? Who brings what to the table? How do you complement your skills?
If you're an Entrepreneur, then use this story to introspect the kind of co-founder and team that you will put together to make your dream business.

17m | Jun 23, 2023 - Season 2 | Ep 29 | Blessing in Disguise | A Chinese Folktale
I was listening to a podcast on the theme of Incognito when I was reminded of this story!
Isn't it amazing when ONE thing reminds you of a story and then links to many concepts, themes, ideas?
Here is a short, crisp Chinese wisdom tale with themes of #Perspectives #Optimism, #Pessimism, #Opportunity, #Setback and #Disguise

11m | Jun 16, 2023 - Season 2 | Ep 28 | Papa God's Well | A Folktale from Haiti
Papa God's Well is an Haitian Folktale that I discovered in Dr Margaret Read MacDonald's Book Earth Care
I remember telling this story in a workshop with a non-profit that was working with a rural community. We were exploring stories (real and traditional) that talk about community problem solving.
Right now, I am working with a multinational in India that looks at water projects as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. The stories from their field is a wonderful companion to this traditional folktale for a lesson on water conservation for school students.
Papa God's Well is a story about authority, leadership and power. It is a story of what happens when you yield your power with an iron fist.
Listen to Papa God's Well and retell it in the Classroom, Living Room and Boardroom with the strategies mentioned in the podcast.
Listen in!

18m | Jun 2, 2023 - Season 2 | Ep 26 | The Mayoress | A Russian Folktale
Folktales are unkind to women and female characters. You cannot pick up a folktale to tell without passing it through the gender lens.
At the face of it, this is a story that I wouldn't tell. But today I am.
There are many things about this story that's disturbing.
I have included it in this podcast, just because it IS an important story that we should listen and talk about.
Here are a few links that will help you bridge meaningful conversations around Women's Rights, Gender, Politics and Inclusion.

10m | May 26, 2023 - Season 2 | Ep 25 | The Sun | A Chinese Tale
How far is the Sun from you?
When is it the farthest? When is it the closest? Does it seem close and far at the same time?
The Sun, is a Chinese Tale that is versatile in the classroom. From Primary, to Middle to Senior School, this ONE story can be told and retold to introduce, teach and reinforce concepts of Sun, Latitude - Longitude, Solar Energy, Time, Distance and Trignometry!
This is an example of what we call, Hook - a - Tale (a story that intrigues) and Story-Fix (a story that poses a problem). Tell this one at the right time of the teaching journey and you will see how it can used and reused over and over again.
We are building a community of Storytelling Teachers, if you are interested in Story Pedagogy subscribe to our Exclusive Newsletter for Teachers
How does this story work for adults? Listen to the podcast to know more!

10m | May 19, 2023 - Season 2 | Ep 24 | If you Don’t Like It, Don’t Listen | A Russian Fairy Tale
This is a story for YOU, the Storytellers (closeted, learner, aspiring, amateur, professional) who listen to this podcast.
The ones who tell stories to children, to families at dinner tables and colleagues & clients at business meetings.
The ones who I imagine are spreading the story dust gathered from this podcast across classrooms, living rooms and boardrooms.
Here is a story that will warn you about the dangers of telling a rambling, unprepared, non-sensical story. As much as it is entertaining, telling an unprepared story won't give you the wins you want. Wondering why are your stories not working with. your audience? This story may hold the clue!
Unlike the storyteller in this story, an unstructured narrative won't help you make a business point, inspire a class, get you a job, get an investment, or attract listeners when on a stage.
If anything at all, this is a story that will warn you about the possibility of Wasteful Storytelling.
So before you set out to tell a story...prepare well.
