Katrina and Geoff are surprised to find a folklore connection to current events! What does a petition to rebrand Splash Mountain have to do with folklore? Katrina takes us back through the history of this controversial theme park ride, Disney's Song of the South, Joel Chandler Harris's collection of Uncle Remus stories and the problems that arise when outsiders are the ones that record folklore and cultural traditions.

Loved this! Oh how I cringed when you discussed Joel Chandler Harris’s daughter saying that her dad stuttered soo he could relate to black people in some way. I think we all cringed at the same things. Great delivery guys! Also, I didn’t know the Tar Baby story either. Nor did I know the Rabbit stories. Another great show!
