Deconstructing Aesop’s Fables with Jon Wilkins

Deconstructing Aesop’s Fables with Jon Wilkins

By Jon Wilkins

A lighthearted look at Aesop’s fables and what they mean in today’s world. As a social experiment, I started narrating fables using a Facebook page and Youtube channel to share.

This venture has since turned into a multifaceted project and this podcast breaks down the stories.

Bonus Material - Episode 8.5 and the music is gone

Bonus Material - Episode 8.5 and the music is gone

Episode 8.5 includes a bonus fable and a great tune. The last episode involved a lying bat in The Bat and the Weasels and The Bird the Beasts and the Bats give you some insight into the bat family.

As a special bonus you get to hear one of my favorite tunes.
Anchor.fm along with Spotify Premium allow me to add music as long as the podcast is not monetized. I’d rather share music than make a penny so here is Unconventional Wisdom by Built to Spill.

Enjoy and please subscribe on one of the platforms and/or favorite the podcast.
