EP 247: The Alan and the Hunters; The Man and the Alan; Sogsogot (Cole)

Sandman Stories Presents

In the first story, a man just wants to find some fire to roast a pig, but he comes across an Alan's house instead. What will he do?

In the second story, a man plays dead and gets a reward from the Alans, but they wouldn't really burn down his house, would they?

And in the third story, Sogsogot goes on a wild adventure and his ghost wife makes him throw feathers at other ghosts. Wild.

Podcast Shoutout: Scene on Radio is a two-time Peabody-nominated podcast from the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University that dares to ask big, hard questions about who we are—really—and how we got this way. The show is produced and hosted by John Biewen, along with collaborators, and distributed by PRX.

Listener Shoutout: Damascus is the capital and largest city of Syria, the oldest current capital in the world and, according to some, the fourth holiest city in Islam. Known colloquially in Syria as aš-Šām and dubbed, poetically, the "City of Jasmine", Damascus is a major cultural center of the Levant and the Arab world. Wikipedia
