Myths Your Teacher Hated Podcast

This is the Myths Your Teach Hated, a bi-weekly podcast where I tell the stories of cultures around the world in all of their original, bloody, uncensored glory. Modern tellings of these stories have become dry and dusty, but I’ll be trying to breathe new life into them.

This week on MYTH, we’ll be finishing up the holiday season with a story that has a nice mix of comedy and weirdness.  I thought we could use a little levity for the end of this dumpster fire of a year with a story about making a new beginning.  You’ll learn that some people will kill for a nice jam, that Spongebob Squarepants is a badass, and that heart disease really is the number one killer.   Then, in Gods and Monsters, you’ll discover why self-reliant women are basically demons.  This is the Grimm fairy tale of The Brave Little Tailor.

This week on MYTH, we’ll be leaving the barren wastes of the Arabian desert and sliding into the holiday season with a story that has a nice mix of comedy and weirdness.  You’ll discover that kissing under the mistletoe is darker than you knew, that sometimes the gods like to cross-dress, and that Loki’s kids were a real handful.   Then, in Gods and Monsters, you’ll learn that being a naughty kid can get you dropped in a Saw movie.  This is the Norse story of how mistletoe came to be a holiday tradition.

This week on MYTH, we’ll be continuing the story Scheherazade began last time and finally venture inside the City of Brass.  You’ll learn that thrilling conclusions sometimes aren’t, that if someone takes the time to post lots of warnings, you should listen to them, and that throwing away the lives of your men for trinkets can really pay off.   Then, in Gods and Monsters, it’s the powerful demon born from the blood of murdered innocence.  This episode is the conclusion of the search for the City of Brass, one of the stories from the 1001 Nights.
