Circle Round shares the magic of holiday storytelling

The winter holiday season is for storytelling, and the team behind WBUR's hit podcast "Circle Round" know a thing or two about good stories. Created and produced by parents of young children, WBUR's Circle Round adapts carefully selected folktales from around the world into sound- and music-rich radio plays for kids ages 3 to 10.

Here & Now's Scott Tong is joined by host Rebecca Sheir and composer Eric Shimelonis, the creative forces behind the podcast to talk about holiday storytelling and to hear an excerpt of a holiday themed episode.
