In this episode, we explore the towering tales of giants — from ancient myths to modern conspiracy theories. Are these colossal beings just metaphors for power and fear, or is there a sliver of truth buried in the stories passed down through generations? We dig into global legends, from Norse jotnar and the Nephilim of biblical texts to the giants of Native American and Greek mythology. Along the way, we’ll examine archaeological claims, literary symbolism, and the role giants play in the human imagination. Join us as we stand toe-to-toe with the giants of myth and mystery.
