Unsoftened Tales: Authentic Folklore & Legends

The stories we were told as children were often softened. These are not. 

Welcome to Unsoftened Tales, where we strip away the polish to bring you the raw, authentic folklore & legends of the world. 
From the cremation grounds of ancient India to the high peaks of the Pamirs... We explore the raw, original Indian Folklore and Mythology that the history books smoothed over. Starting with the dark riddles of the Baital Pachisi and the primal wisdom of the Panchatantra, exploring the ancient Central Asian myths of the "Roof of the World" - stories of mountain spirits, survival & the Silk Road. 

From the un-sanitized nights of the Arabian Nights (1001 Nights) to the darker roots of European fairy tales, we provide immersive, original audio narrations of humanity’s oldest oral traditions.
