  • The Americas, Part 1 - Aztecs, Mexico (CF.Ep.009)
    This episode we’re supposed to be heading to South America, however… we ended up a little bit north of our mark. I’ll explain more later but to not take any more away from today’s topic we’ll be doing our first diety deep dive where we explore the existence of the Aztec Prince of Flowers. And for our fact, we’re taking a look at the fathers of Columbia’s LGBTQiA movement. And kudos to those who caught it – yes, today we’re going full Triple D, here… on the Colored Folklore podcast.

  • Middle East - Zoroastrianism (CF.Ep.007)
    This episode we’re off to the cradle of civilization to show you that getting in too much sleep is WAY WORSE than you ever thought it could be. And for our fact, we get to dive into an ancient Arabic technique that more than just a few of you are going to recognize. However, you might not have known that this storytelling style is getting some modern-day love with a resurgence taking flight the world over. Straight up trending, baby, here…. on the Colored Folklore podcast.

  • Asia - Tungusic People (CF.Ep.006)
    This episode we’re off to the world’s largest continent where we’ll see a couple o’ dude bros do what dude bros do best… claim ownership over land and sentient creature alike, get into a d*** measuring contest, and commit assault. And for our fact, we’re going off on a bit of an etymological bent as we discover the origin, of a word we’ve already used multiple times on this show! Okay, okay, so maybe I was a little harsh towards men with that intro. You must be new ‘round these parts. Poking fun at males throughout mythology is pretty much just what we do, here…. on the Colored Folklore podcast.

  • Oceanic Cultures - Indigenous Australians (CF.Ep.005)
    This episode we’re traveling through the Australian outback to see that, once again, being a parent can tend to be quite the thankless occupation. And for our fact, we’re visiting a rather TINY Oceanic island with some rather LOFTY myths and deities that faces a problem encroaching societies the entire world over. A nuanced balancing act with high stakes and a little bit of snark? Brand new year, same ol’ cast, here…. on the Colored Folklore podcast.

  • Arctic Circle - Inuit Peoples (CF.Ep.004)
    I’ve been waiting since before the beginning for this episode, where we visit the Inuit culture of the Arctic Circle to see why you should always be sure about what type of seeds you’re planting in your garden because you never know what type of pest you might end up with. And for our fact, we have a Scandinavian indigenous people whose shaman have a pretty fly way to traverse worlds. And yes, that was an origin / creation myth play on words to start the episode because we’re nothing if not terrible joke telling folklore dorks, here… on the Colored Folklore podcast.

    This episode North American lore shows that even that falling through a hole in the sky ain’t got nothin’ on giving birth.
