The Sound of Reclamation

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual violence. What happens when someone who was never supposed to speak suddenly finds their voice? Today we're exploring that question through two very different lenses - one brutally contemporary, one ancient as the changing seasons. Both ask us to listen to voices that were meant to stay silent forever. Featuring:  ‘Vessels and Warnings’ by Gabrielle Emem Harry (1.45), narrated by Cheryl S. Ntumy.  A powerful narrative where remembering your own name becomes an act of rebellion. This story can be found in our African Ghost (http://bit.ly/4m6DtPl) anthology.  ‘The Rape of Persephone’ by Homer and Hesiod (17.28), narrated by Amanda Benzecry. A myth from Ancient Greece, where a young woman is taken against her will, a mother's grief changes the world and compromises must be made. Borrowed from our Greek Myths and Legends (http://flametr.com/40ubKA3) collection.  Biographies: Gabrielle Emem Harry is a Nigerian speculative fiction writer. She writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, slipstream and anything with a fabulist bent and is most interested in crafting stories that sit in the gaps between genres, refusing to be strictly defined. She was selected as a 2023 Literary Laddership for Emerging African Authors Fellow and her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Strange Horizons, Solarpunk, Apparition, Omenana, Isele and more.  ‘The Rape of Persephone’ was derived from Hesiod’s Theogony. Hesiod is often credited with beginning the Greek mythical tradition, he lived and composed around 700 BC. Theogony deals with the origins of the world and the gods.  Cheryl S. Ntumy is a Ghanaian writer of speculative fiction and has appeared in Black Friday, FIYAH Literary Magazine, Apex Magazine and World Literature Today.  Amanda Benzecry (voice actor) regularly narrates books for Audible, is on the panel for the RNIB and is a frequent contributor (both as a narrator and a writer) to TNF Soundings, providing audio material for the visually impaired.
