  • Summary

  • Jason Weiser and Carissa Weiser tell stories from myths, legends, and folklore that have shaped cultures throughout history.

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.

    375: Monkey King: The Eyes Have It
    Jul 3 2024
    We're back in the story of the Monkey King and the Journey to the West where maybe this monastery is different and not haunted and infested with monsters? Maybe? Please? Also, we'll see if Xuanzang is old enough to go beg for food on his own without a bodyguard.

    The creature is Storsjöodjuret, and it's open season on cat-headed snake monsters.

Fun & Educational,

my favorite storyteller telling my favorite stories. this wife & husband team are great, they focus on the entire family being able to enjoy their take on myth & legends, they fill this episode with their humor which ensures they nudge you to LISTEN TO JUST ONE MORE EPISODE.
