Episode 237 - Táin Mosaic - Follman

Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast. In this episode, we are taking the perspective of Conchubar Mac Nessa’s youngest son, Follman. Follman’s story is a particularly tragic one, as he has experienced huge loss in his young life, and does not survive the War. If you've missed the earlier episodes, go back to catch up from the start. This is part of a brand new series. In this series, we are looking back at an old story, or set of stories and telling it in a new way, from a lot of different perspectives. We are calling this the Táin Mosaic, as the shattered fragments of this story can be put back together in a multiplicity of ways, and we decided to shine a light on some of the lesser known characters within the story. Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story includes mentions of violence, death, mutilation, child soldiers, implied child death.
