#106 - The Muzhik Who Fed Two Officials
A sleepy 19th century Russian satire written as a fairy tale in which two helpless government officials are saved by a hard-working muzhik.Bodhi and I ran across a patch of canyon larkspur on a hike this week, and when I went to find out more about it, it led me down an amazing internet rabbit hole filled with information about the Yuki Native Americans, this land's original inhabitants. You can see pictures of the canyon larkspur flowers and find links to studies of Yuki uses for our native plants and vivid stories of their culture on my blog at https://www.listentosleep.com/blog/canyon-larkspur/.If the podcast helps you sleep and you’d like to support my dream of being your bedtime storyteller from my cozy mountain cabin, please consider subscribing to Listen To Sleep Plus at https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/3437112.
