This week, for our Season 1 finale, Claire has brought us a whole family of holiday characters: Grýla, Leppalúði, Jólakötturinn, and the Yule Lads. If you think the names of these Icelandic icons are a handful, wait until you see what they get up to!
Happy holidays to our listeners in every Friend tier, and thank you for sticking with us through Season 1!
32 min - Episode 27: Wandering with the Wampus Cat
This week, we opt not to light a campfire on our Appalachian camping trip, so as not to upset the Wampus Cat. This fearsome feline is infamous for its dreadful howl and curious mode of locomotion, but could it be yet another victim of bad PR?

- Episode 23: Moonlighting with ManananggalsThis week, we stay up at night behind closed windows in the Philippines, hoping to catch a glimpse of the manananggal. These feisty females often get compared to vampires, but that might be unfair... to the vampires, that is.34 min
- Episode 22: Daring the Dairy with Milk HaresThis week, we sit quietly in the cow-pastures of Scandinavia in search of the elusive milk hare. We learn the bewitching origins of these lactophilic lagomorphs, as well as the service they render to the spellcasters to whom they are bound.32 min
- Episode 21: Taking A Hike with the TatzelwurmThis week, we wander the Alps, watching our step for the weird and wonderful Tatzelwurm. This furtive mountain creature is half-snake, half-cat, and 100% primo Friends of Legend material!30 min
- Episode 20: Set In Stone with Basilisks and CockatricesThis week, we carefully inspect chicken coops for evidence of basilisks and cockatrices. We uncover the curious lineages of each, as well as their off-putting habits and even more off-putting aversions. We were feeling bold and decided to videotape this episode!
