    HEY! YOU! CARMAN'S DOING A KICKSTARTER! CHECK IT OUT!

  • Episode 374: The Most Gatsby Dragon (The Tree That Reached the Sky Part I)

    HEY! YOU! CARMAN'S DOING A KICKSTARTER! CHECK IT OUT!

    This week on WTFolklore we begin reading The Tree That Reached the Sky. Though, in a way, we also conclude reading The Tree That Reached the Sky, even though next week, we're going to continue reading The Tree That Reached the Sky. It'll make sense when you get there

  • Episode 373: God Help You If You Skipped Part 1 (The Punishment of Gangana Part 2)

    HEY! YOU! CARMAN'S DOING A KICKSTARTER! CHECK IT OUT!

    After an almost definitely unhelpful recap of Part 1, we conclude our trek into The Punishment of Gangana. Hopefully this time you walk away with useful knowledge, like the difference between a dragon and a flying lizard, what is and is not a prank (kidnapping), and that if you just wait around long enough, eventually something will happen.

    Suggested talking points: The Good Podcasting Spice, Goatmeal, Look With Your Wallet, The Hat is VERY Cool, More of a Threat Than a Moral

  • Episode 372: Now This is Podcasting (The Punishment of Gangana Part 1)

    HEY! YOU! CARMAN'S DOING A KICKSTARTER! CHECK IT OUT!

    After discussing our various franchising options (again), We begin reading The Punishment of Gangana this week. We do our best to follow along, but it proves to be deceptively simple, and entirely interested in the minutiae of a number of characters it decides to name at random intervals. Good luck with Part 2, everyone.

  • Episode 371: Sounds are Not Always for You

    HEY! YOU! CARMAN'S DOING A KICKSTARTER! CHECK IT OUT!

    This week on WTFolklore, after a brief update on the state of mini-golf and pizza in this country, we read Yallery Brown, which is less of a cautionary tale and more of a general PSA to be on the lookout for this prick.

    Suggested talking points: A Good Place To Hide From a Baby, Phantom Pizza From a Mouse, The Age of Un-Time, Evolution of the Hair-Diaper, Ye Olde Smokebomb, Fish And Fish Accessories

  • Episode 370: The Stickiest Husband

    HEY! YOU! CARMAN'S DOING A KICKSTARTER! CHECK IT OUT!

    This week on WTFolklore we read Herr Lazarus and the Draken, which sounds SUSPICIOUSLY familiar to another tale we read many, many years ago...

  • Episode 369: The Patron Saint of Food Network

    This week on WTFolklore we read Lutung Kasarung, the tale of a woman so committed to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory that she does it like, four or five times in a row. Also, there's a very humble, magical monkey.

    Suggested talking points: Carpetalism, Grocery Store Final Boss, Carpet Cannon (Celebratory), Carman Stanklation, Humble Monkey Dynamite
