    384: Turkish folklore: The Silent Princess
    Sep 11 2024
    The story of the silent princess and the prince who definitely has been cursed by that strange woman in the street. He totally hasn't just psyched himself out thinking that if he doesn't meet the silent princess, he will die, forcing him and his tutor to go on a 15-month-long, stinky quest.

    The creature is the Abaia, the eel that loves life so much it kills everybody.

    383: Monkey King: Food Fight (part 2 of 2)
    Sep 4 2024
    Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is dead. For real. He was eaten by a lion and is gone for good because we can all trust Pigsy because he's so honest and not looking for a reason to cut and run.

    The creature is Ugallu, a demon from Babylonian mythology, who might be your hero.

    We're back in the story of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King and the Journey to the West, where Monkey goes undercover as a demon and defeats a whole army with a math equation.

Fun & Educational,

my favorite storyteller telling my favorite stories. this wife & husband team are great, they focus on the entire family being able to enjoy their take on myth & legends, they fill this episode with their humor which ensures they nudge you to LISTEN TO JUST ONE MORE EPISODE.
