WBUR Podcasts, Boston.

Hey listeners, it's Amory Severson from WBURR Podcasts, and we're in between seasons of Circle Round right now,

but that doesn't mean we're taking the summer off.

All summer long, we'll be playing you some of the

best Circle Round episodes about nature and the environment, because hopefully you're spending

lots of time outside and enjoying our shared home of planet Earth. That officially starts soon

with a special guest host for Circle Round Summer. So get ready for all that. But in the meantime, we're pleased to present a special opportunity to be a special guest host for Circle Round Summer. So get ready for all that.

But in the meantime, we're pleased to present a special encore edition of the podcast, a fantastic

folktale you may have missed the first time around.

Enjoy.

Have you ever heard of the four cardinal directions?

The four cardinal directions are the main

points of a compass. So north, south, east, and any guesses? That's right. West. But did you know

that each cardinal direction has its own wind? Yep. The north wind comes from the north, the south wind comes from the south,

and so on. In today's story, we'll get to meet all four of these winds, and what happens next

may very well blow you over. I'm Rebecca Shear, and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time.

Today, our story is called The Four Winds.

It's inspired by a tale from the Lakota, the largest band of the Sioux Nation in North America.

Some really great people came together to bring you our adaptation of this tale, including

Kimberly Guerrero, whose voice you kids may recognize from Spirit Rangers on Netflix.

You grown-ups may know Kimberly from Reservation Dogs on FX, Rutherford Falls on Peacock, and the English on Amazon Prime.

So circle around, everyone.
