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, it’s our annual Halloween Spooktacular!  You’ll discover that demons can really bust a move, that being a miser never seems to work out on holidays, and that you should be careful about what invitations you accept.  Then, in Gods and Monsters, it’s the devilish origin story of a Halloween classic: the jack-o’lantern.

Halloween Special

Oct 16, 2022

This week on MYTH, we’re donning a red cloak for some variations on a classic fairy tale.  You’ll see that you shouldn’t make pancakes out of donkey dung, that falling asleep on the toilet can get you killed, and that you should be careful with someone’s skillet.  Then, in Gods and Monsters, putting snail eyes on your face doesn’t make you someone’s grandmother.
