The Tragedy of Miscommunication in Exile

<p>Continuing along our folklore journey, this episode covers exile, the collaboration between Taylor Swift and Bon Iver. Uncle Jerry teaches us about different types of exile and how they appear across literature and folk tales. We then dig into the poem and Uncle Jerry admits to Angela that he almost cheated and listened to the song because he was so ready to hear how they spoke over each other. </p><p><br></p><p>Also, ICYMI, we will be finishing the entire folklore album. Stay tuned over the next few weeks as we tackle the remaining tracks and then do a comprehensive overview.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Song discussion starts at 19:12</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>*Links with an asterisk are affiliate links, which allow us to make a small commission on your purchase at no cost to you.
