Today we are back in the book of Ghanaian folklore written down by W.H. Barker. In the first story, we learn how to bull yourself out of a court case. In the second, we learn why Rams live at home while the leopard lives in the forest. And in the final story, we learn about biting the cat that feeds you and why Leopards are like nascar drivers.

Podcast Shoutout: Japan Distilled. Do you like sake? Shochu? Then you need to check out Steve and Chris, and their sound guy Rich. They have decades of tasting experience and can give you the history of each brewery or spirit that they cover. It’s super fun and a good insight into Japanese spirits by a couple of guys who really know their stuff. And if you like the show as much as I do, go and give them a like, a rating, and a review.

Listener Shoutout: Bamako Mali. I’m still not sure how someone in the city found my podcast, but I’m glad that they listened to at least one episode. Bamako is the capital of the country of Mali, which is the legacy of the Malian empire. This city has seen the likes of Mansa Musa who traded salt for gold and then messed up the whole gold market when he went on hajj and flooded it with gold gifts. People have lived in the city since the paleolithic era. Of course it was also colonized by France during the ransacking of Africa by the European powers. It did make me smile when they dropped French from their official languages. And so today, I’ll be attempting the main language Bambara. To the listener in Bamako I say Aw ni ce and Aw ni su Thank you and goodnight
