Welcome back to the beginning of Spooky Season and another episode of More than Myths. We're just going to  jump right in with two scary stories - but scary for very different reasons. Hailie starts us off with the story about the Two Lions of Tsavo. What happened in 1898  (not 1989 like Hailie accidentally kept saying) during those nine terrifying months while John Patterson was there trying to finish construction of the railroad? Then we switch to a different kind of scary and Corrine tells us about Helltown, your abandoned, run-of-the-paper mill kind of place, but it's got some really spooky things there. The Bus. Crybaby Bridge. The Road to Nowhere and so much more. Corrine's got all the details about this ghost town, so buckle up your pants, grab your popcorn, a good strong drink, a pup or two to snuggle, and take a listen. 

Welcome Curious friends! We're getting into another part of Troy this week to finish off our Welcome Back to Season Two celebration! This week, Corrine takes us to the beginning of a young princes life, how he was saved by an unlikely animal and would grow up on the slopes of Mount Ida. There are two gods that would see him lounging in the sun and would decide to play a prank on him that would change the course of this young man's life forever. 

Welcome to Season Two! This season we're going to be doing a deep dive into the story of Troy. It is going to cover the entirety of season two and we'll be releasing an episode, especially about Troy once a month. For our first episode, we're going way back to before Troy was even founded to learn about how it came to be and all about the people that were cursed, and how it doomed the city from the start. 

Hello Curious friends! Today's episode is a little different. We're doing a year in review and asking each other some questions about the past year we've been producing More Than Myths. We dive deep episode and you're going to find out who Hailie and Corrine are as doughnuts and what their favorite parts of the past year have been. We can't thank all of you enough for sticking with us for an entire year and we appreciate you all so much for being here! 

Hey Curious Friends! Uncle B is back in the More Than Myths house and we are starting the grand tale of Ragnarok. In this episode we are going to talk about Loki's three children (the less popular ones) and what was done to them to make Loki go all Gossip Girl on the Gods. This uncomfortable dinner party is filled with non-stop insults, family drama and infidelity that it would put most soap operas to shame. You don't want to miss this weeks episode, grab a drink and your popcorn for this one. 

Hello curious friends! Welcome to the latest Norse Corner with our favorite Uncle B. It's been far too long, and we're so glad he's back with more stories from Norse Mythology. Today he's diving into some stories we need to know for the road we're headed down, just to fill in our knowledge. He's got information about some really nice-looking feet, a box of impressive apples, an acorn and so much more. Buckle up your pants, it's a tangent-filled ride. 

Welcome to another week of More Than Myths - we can't thank you enough for being here. 

Corrine starts us off with a tale about a man from Medan, but titles can be deceiving and this one sure is. Were there ghosts, or sea monsters, or even aliens that might have caused this event? Or could it have been something scientifically explained? It's an unsolved mystery and we want to stress its "unsolvedness" because it really makes you wonder - what actually might have happened? 

Then Hailie finished the story of Cleopatra's life. We find out what happened to Antony and Cleopatra in their last few years from wars to donations and where things may have gone wrong for the powerful couple as well as what ancient writers tell us happened to them in the end. 

Welcome to another week of More Than Myths, curious friends! Thanks for letting us sail straight into your ear holes and hearts with this brand-new episode! We've got a second parter for you on both accounts. 

Corrine has so much more information about Hailie's favorite - corpse candles, but they also go by a name that we are more familiar with. They might be in league with fairies, but they seem to generally be up to no good. She's got stories ranging from St. Peter not letting a man into heaven (twice!) all the way around to hinkypunks. 

Then Hailie gets into the next chapter of Cleopatra's life. There is talk of Rome and the men that are running the show there and how they have an impact on Cleopatra's life. We discuss her famous meeting with a man in Tarsus and how they started a drinking club. There's also a marriage and the birth of twins.
