    This week’s episode is an audio adaptation of our multimedia experience Valemon the Bear: Myth in the Age of the Anthropocene, featuring mythologist Martin Shaw. Martin’s vivid telling summons the ancient tale of a wild daughter falling in love with a bear, inviting us into a deep encounter with a living myth that has the potential to remind us of the parts of ourselves we’ve forgotten, if we let it.
