About the Podcast
Moonlight Over a Ruined Village is a podcast that was created to preserve accounts accumulated by folklorists from the Children of Gundy, a nonprofit urban folklore preservation society. These accounts were compiled by researchers tasked with preserving accounts of the ruin and degradation of public spaces. These accounts have been compiled from sources from multiple nationalities and ethnic backgrounds, yet they are uniform in their depiction of failing public places due to indifference from public officials. Though the narratives themselves are based on factual events, they are framed within a fictional context to protect the privacy of the people who provided the testimony from possible repercussions from public officials. The village that has fallen into a state of decay is itself is fictitious, but that is only because selecting a single geographic area to represent the shocking amount and variety of callous decay encountered by our group was impractical due to the abundance of candidates to chose from.
