It's our last episode of the season and we are revisiting a tale we've covered before: Tannakin Skinker. This story is like Cinderella, if Cinderella were a pig faced woman who was forced into marriage to get rid of a curse. Kinda close right?

This week, it's the thunder god and Thursday namesake: Thor. This story is a gender bending one, Thor has to dress up as Freya and pretend to marry someone to get his ""hammer"" back (someone queue Freud). A whole ox and several barrels of ale later, and Thor is still rocking his wedding dress. We have so. many. thoughts. Luckily! we have the wonderful Shu Matsuo Post (@shumatsuopost) author of I Took Her Name to discuss this one with us.

Join us as we discuss the ins and outs of your favorite tale from your childhood, the Little Mermaid. We are so honored to have Maddie of @chunkyandfunkymaddie also give her two cents on this really problematic tale. Side note: did you know that film critics called the Disney character, "a feminist icon?" uhhh... she couldn't speak, so... yea. And yet... feels very on brand for the 90s. Looking at you Zack Morris.

We are back from a short break and ready to get back to telling your favorite problematic tales. This week, we tell the story of The Lion's Whiskers with the wonderful Victoria Anraham of @fabfatfeminist. What's the Lion's whiskers about? Welp, it's made up of 99% patience and 1% whiskers.

Bonus episode time! Since we looooove Spooklore so much we decided to tell you another scary story. This week, in honor of Mindy and Rachael's favorite current binge, Lovecraft Country, we are telling the tale of the Kumiho. Except for this one attacks her family instead of randomly boring men at bars. We won't be dropping an episode on 11/4, so this will have to carry you through until our next episode on the 11th. Oh, and go vote!

This week Gayatri Patel of CARE.org joins us for a Nepalese story called Don Cholecha. The story involves a goat, a little girl and of course an elderly couple that happen to be demons. Don Cholecha is a story about a girl that never gives up, and eats food vomited by a goat. Something we can all (mostly) relate to.
