  • Summary

  • Jason Weiser and Carissa Weiser tell stories from myths, legends, and folklore that have shaped cultures throughout history. Some, like the stories of Aladdin, King Arthur, and Hercules are stories you think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are stories you might not have heard, but really should. All the stories are sourced from world folklore, but retold for modern ears. These are stories of wizards, knights, Vikings, dragons, princesses, and kings from the time when the world beyond the map was a dangerous and wonderful place.

    399: Canadian folklore: Wild Night
    Dec 31 2024
    🎉At a bad New Year's party?🎉 It has to be better than little Joe and Baptiste's New Years, in the frigid Canadian wilderness. But they're going to change that. By making a deal with the devil.

    😈 The creature: The Yale

    The Yale, or the Centicore, is a super goat who's super famous despite not deserving it at all.

    398: Nordic Christmas: In the Bleak Mid-winter
    Dec 18 2024
    🌲Trolls, zombies, and evil housecats🌲 It must be Christmas in the Nordic countries. Today, a young officer is stuck in the city after being in a brief coma. At least there are some tales to keep him company.

    😈 The Creature: Frau Gauden

    The creature this week wants to give you that dog you wanted for the holidays. The catch is that it can never leave. Also, it will attack you.

Adventure Time

If you still like storytime as an adult then this is absolutely worth your time, you can find the epic stories of King Arthur, Hercules, and The Monkey King, but also many criminally underrated stories like Arrow Odd (ep31) Tatterhood (ep146) and The Mabinogian (ep181 & 217)

The writers have a great sense of humour, I work outdoors and highly recommend listening to a story outside, if you don't mind laughing in public for no apparent reason.

This podcast does exactly what it says on the box.
I used a different app, but have listened to every episode, even the early ones.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Audible acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
