And now without further ado, on with the show!

Hello, mythsters far and wide!  Anike and I were super excited to dig into this second part of our Middle Eastern trip, and we do hope you enjoy it. The outtakes at the end of the episode are a clear testament to the degree of braindeadness with which I undertook the recording of this episode, but we still had tons of fun and giggles. (as we always do).

But now, without further ado, let's get cracking!

Hello hello, and welcome to milestone episode 10. Double digits!

Since the Middle East is such a vast and varied region, we've decided to split this part of the world into two separate episodes. Anike was super excited to be back for the first part of our foray into the Middle East, so let's dig in right away!

Hello Mythsters!

We made it to Central Asia, even though we suffered a few days' delay. This time, it is Jaz and Koji behind the microphones, as Anike is feeling a bit under the weather. We hope she feels better soon, but in the mean time, let's give Koji a warm mythster welcome for her podcast debut!

Now, without further ado, let's dig in. Later Mythsters!

So, after many times hinting at all the myths with naga at their roots, we've finally made it to the birthplace of this illustrious creature: India!

Of course, a full transcript of the episode will, as always, be made available on our website, Mythsterhood.com.

It's so good to be back with our next episode, where we delve into the origin of Chinese dragons, and some of the creation myths from Chinese folklore.

As promised in the episode, here is the link to the Fabulous Folklore's dragon episode.

And we are back, with episode 6 of Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales. We'll continue where we left off in episode 5, as South East Asia was note quite bite-sized enough to fit into a single episode. But mythsters, it was worth the wait. This time around, we meet more awesome dragons and learn of their amazing tales. Which was your favourite?

As always, a full transcript is available if you scroll down and next week, a complementary blog post will follow, featuring even more awe-inspiring dragons.

As promised in the episode, we would love to welcome you on our Mythsterhood Discord server, where you'll get sneak peeks at new artwork by Anike Kirsten, among other things!

Welcome to episode 5 of Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales. Anike is back in business, and our paths wandered over to South East Asia. The one thing we could tell right off the bat, is that this region is too large and too varied to fit into one episode. But we don't mind spending two episodes in such amazing spots, do we, mythsters? As always, a full transcript is available on our website and next week, a complementary blog post will follow, featuring even more awe-inspiring dragons.

Hello hello mythsters. Today is a very sad day. Anike hasn’t been feeling well all week and will not be able to record with me.  That’s right. You're stuck with me. Your ears are at my mercy. I shall try to behave, but I can make no promises, of course.

Since Anike didn’t want to miss out on all the fun we’ll be having in South East Asia, we agreed that I would do a bit of a bonus episode for you instead.

If you joined us on our Japanese excursion, you may remember us mentioning the kappa. Now, since kappa are not actually dragons, we didn’t delve deeper in the episode, but we did do a side quest in the form of a Patreon exclusive post. Today, you get the audio version. Our way of apologising for the delay in our travels to South East Asia.

As usual, a full transcript will be made available at www.Mythsterhood.com.

Welcome to episode 4 of Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales. On the itinerary this time was the Koreas. A land we hear mentioned on the news a lot. But what do we really know about its mythological traditions? A full transcript is available on our website and next week, we'll have a complementary blog post for you as well, featuring even more awesome dragons.
