Afghan Folktales

We are excited to announce our new podcast series, titled Yaki Bood, Yaki Na Bood. In English, one would call them Once Upon a Time tales.

We'll bring you stories from Afghanistan, stories heard and told by the elders at night, passed on from generation to generation, heard and sometimes forgotten, until something triggers the memory, and you are a child again, listening in wonder...

Buzak Chini (The Chinese Goat)

40 Dukhtaran (40 Girls)

Our podcast series of tales from Afghanistan continues with this almost forgotten story of brave women.

Amo kharak Amo darak (That same old donkey)
