# What is Folklore?
In this episode, Josh and Chuck explore the surprisingly broad and complex world of folklore—which turns out to be basically everything! They break down how folklore isn't just old fairy tales and dusty traditions, but rather the shared customs, beliefs, stories, games, recipes, and even gestures that bind groups together. From children's counting-out rhymes to family recipes to regional dialects, you'll discover that folklore is constantly being created and passed down in ways you've probably never considered, and that it reveals fascinating connections between cultures across time and space.
