Somewhere in New Brunswick | A Folk Tale with Jack the Cat

Somewhere in New Brunswick | A Folk Tale with Jack the Cat

Author: Pierre Martin July 26, 2025 Duration: 1:31

Experience a poetic short story inspired by the painting Somewhere in New Brunswick, where nature speaks without words. 🌲🎧

🖼️ In a quiet corner of New Brunswick, Maud, Jack the Cat, a curious deer, and playful fish gather by a winding river. Without saying a word, they share a moment of deep connection—where the forest, the sky, and the river whisper ancient wisdom.

🎨 This folk tale brings to life Pierre Martin’s original painting, featured at the Gallery on Queen in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

There's a particular warmth that comes from sharing stories, a feeling Pierre Martin Folk Art captures perfectly. Hosted by folk artist Pierre Martin, this podcast is an intimate audio gallery where traditional tales from Quebec and Acadia are given new life. Imagine settling in for a quiet moment, as if gathered by a fireside, and hearing these short, evocative narratives unfold. The telling is personal and unhurried, often accompanied by the quiet presence of Jack the cat, who seems to listen along with you. Each episode is a small, handcrafted piece of oral tradition, focusing on the visual and emotional textures of folk art through story. Rather than lectures or analysis, you'll find a gentle immersion into the characters, landscapes, and subtle morals that have shaped these cultural stories. For anyone with an interest in the arts, heritage, or simply a well-told tale, this series offers a unique and calming space. It’s a podcast that feels less like a broadcast and more like a personal invitation into Pierre Martin’s creative world, where every story is a brushstroke on a much larger canvas.
