Buy The Folklore & Fiction Ballads on Bandcamp.

From 2019 to 2023, the Folklore & Fiction dispatches and podcasts brought the principles of folkloristics to storytellers of all kinds. They were recommended by the American Folklore Society as a trusted source of folkloristic scholarship, they were the topic of peer-reviewed ethnographic research, and they were adopted as an aid to creative writing in several college and university classrooms. They were also an opportunity for me to sing several ballads in the English and Scottish tradition. I included rough mixes in the podcast editions where I discussed the ballads in question, but I also promised that I would someday gather them into an EP. Here they are along with my deepest gratitude for every reader and listener who supported my work.
