Episode Details

Cherrie Chhangte is an author and folklorist from Mizoram, a region in Northeast India bordering Banglesdesh and Myammar (Burma). We discuss the region, the culture, the politics, and the religions. We cover some of the usual bases like the creation story, the afterlife, is there a devil, angels and demons etc. We discover some similarites yet many differences from most of our prior tours. Then we get into the creatures of lore. Some are familiar in ways, but few aren't significantly different. Cherrie is the author of "Mizo Myths", among other works. Come join me and enter this culture that I, for one, never heard of prior to becoming the Gardener of Doom.
