Episode 131
Wednesday, 3 December, 2025

At a time when social media stories and reels are a few seconds long and pull us away from what’s happening in the real world around us, storytelling is more important than ever. Chris Salisbury joins us to explore his book Folk Tales of the Night: Stories for Campfires, Bedtime and Nocturnal Adventures. Ancient cultures connected the pictures they saw in the stars to the land where they lived through storytelling, many of which are still told today.LINKS FROM EPISODE 131:2025 Stargazing Guide (FREE download): https://nightskytourist.com/guide/ WildWise: https://wildwise.co.uk/Folk Tales of the Night- book: https://prologuebookshop.com/book/9781803990392Wild Nights Out- book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/801097/wild-nights-out-by-christopher-salisbury/ VISIT OUR WEBSITEVisit the Night Sky Tourist website to book private stargazing experiences, read inspiring articles, and find resources to take your stargazing to the next level.
