1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Ben is now able to give his quick takes on &quot;Capturing Bigfoot&quot; and &quot;You Can See Everything,&quot; the hot ticket double feature all skeptics are rushing out to see. Then we are joined by the delightful Lynne McNeill, who talks to us about &quot;Folklore in the Public Square&quot; -- and her chapter in a book by that name. As a regularly appearing expert on many shows including &quot;Paranormal Caught on Camera&quot; and &quot;The World According to Jeff Goldblum,&quot; among others, Lynne has navigated the dual, often conflicting roles, of presenting folklore studies in a way true to its academic nature but also enthusiastic and &quot;spooky&quot; enough for producers and audiences. We talk about folklorists going rogue and becoming propagandists, the difficulty in fact-checking folklore, and the folklorist's implied mandate against intervention (a mandate that may be changing). From sea shanties to high mundanity to the instant &quot;folklore&quot; conjured up for marketing campaigns or Studio Ghibli movies, Lynne takes us on a tour of how the public interacts with folklore (or something like it).
