267-Dragons: The Horse and his Boy
04/20/22 • 33 min
2 Listeners
A story of believing in yourself and finding your own way in the world...by imitating Pokemon and Hodor and wearing flashy suits from your best friend's stone safehouse. From a story from what's now Czech Republic and Slovakia, called "Prince Bayaya."
Coming to a garden near you, the creature is the Jidra, from Medieval Europe. You might think you're a fantastic gardener, what with growing a plant bigger than you are...but you might rethink that when the plant tries to eat you.

266-1001 Nights: Good Night and Good Luck
A story from One Thousand and One Nights of an incompetent dude, a genie that's more than happy to be used for evil, and how the best legal outcome is one that involves free honey cakes. This is also where we wrap up the framing narrative, and we see if Scheherazade's gambit, of keeping herself alive by telling her husband stories every night for the past 989 days, finally pays off.
The creature is Irusan, the Irish king of the cats, and he is tired of listening to your terrible poetry.

268-Viking Legends: Hride or Die
Two stories from Norse myth. The first is about how you should just be you, even if people think you're a fool for doing so...actually, kind of especially if people think you are a fool for doing so.
The second is about why you shouldn't go to the bathroom alone at night: Norse toilet zombies.
The creature is the Mimick Dog, a dog that will mimic you and maybe put on plays.
