Myths and Legends

De: Jason Weiser Carissa Weiser Nextpod
  • Sumário

  • 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.

  • 402: Japanese folklore: Misconceptions
    Feb 12 2025
    🐸Love means never having to say I'm sorry (I poisoned you)"🐸 ...or something like that. This Valentine's Day there are three love stories from Japan. On the first, a man moves on after becoming a widower (kind of), on the second, two frogs fall out of love...with a place, and on the third, the whole world is in love with a geisha.

    😈 The Creature: Maikubi (舞首)

    Three heads that don't so much as dance as they do bite each other and sink ships.

    🐀It's Race Day🐀 Today, we tell the story of how the animals in the Chinese Zodiac got their years: a race that's terrible for all involved.

    😈 The Creature: Nian

    Why you want to dress in red to avoid long, unpleasant runs on New Year's Day, though any run in January or February (or in general) is unpleasant.
