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’re going to circle back to Latvia for another episode in the Bearslayer chronicles.  You’ll see how effective hero school can be, learn how the Devil brought Crusaders to the Baltics, and discover what weapons giants prefer.  Then, in Gods and Monsters, you’ll meet the mysterious figures who protect the forests.

This week on MYTH, it’s the epic conclusion to the harrowing tale of Raiko and the Goblin King.  You’ll see that gods have a different definition of poison, that you shouldn’t count your goblins before they hatch, and that it always pays to be careful.  Then, in Gods and Monsters, we’ll visit one of the most iconic mountains in all of Japan, if not the world.
