What if Buddhism, rather than Christianity, had become the dominant religion of Europe? Let’s us explore a folktale from such a world. A world where Buddhist temples in Scandinavia and Frankland also host images of gods such as Thor, Odin, and even Loki. We shall hear the story of a monk called Ketil, and how he helped spread Buddhism to Northern Europe. But more than that, he also drew the attention of the gods of Asgard themselves.

The god of wisdom holds many scrolls with his great library. Unfurl the papyrus and breathe in its ancient scent. Chronicles of our world as it was, as it might be, and how it could have been. Come with us as we explore the stories within. The Books of Thoth is an audio drama anthology from Sam McDonald.

100 million years in the future. Humans are long extinct. Squids rule the Earth. They only know us from the fossils we leave behind. What will they make of us? What assumption will they draw?
