  • 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.

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.
