TGR 06.08.15. A Trojan Feast: Fortean Food in Folklore




The Micah Hanks Program show

Summary: <br> This week on The Gralien Report, it’s been an interesting week for spaceflight, as reports of NASA’s “flying saucer” and the new experimental LightSail programs have dominated headlines. But while the media is focused on the future of space flight, we step back and look at the past as well, and theories about whether the Nazis had been close to getting their own space program off the ground. Is there any legitimacy to the claims, or is this purely an instance of modern conspiracy folklore?<br> Then in hour two, on the subject of folklore, Joshua Cutchin joins us to discuss his latest book, A Trojan Feast, which outlines the curious ties between food offerings and nonhuman encounters in legends from around the world. Joshua brings many interesting aspects of this phenomenon into question, such as the parallels between myths involving fairies giving food to their captives, and similarities that emerge in modern claims associated with alien abductions.<br> Want More From The Gralien Report?<br> For more from The Gralien Report, consider signing up for <a href="http://www.gralienreport.com/x">Gralien X</a>.
