  • Episode 345: The Shadows on this Cave Wall are in 4K

    This week on WTFolklore, we read The Blue Light, a sort of remix of two other tales we've read rather recently, see if you can guess which!

  • Episode 344: INFINITE HORSES (Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, Part II)

    This week on WTFolklore, we continue our trudge through Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, this time in China, which is not a sudden change of scenery at all. Turns out life is just nothing but problems, especially if you continually, almost deliberately forget you have a magical genie living on your finger.

    Suggested talking points: Hungry Hungry Himbo, Disney Movie Crisis Actors, Pitchforks and Palanquins, Rembrandt's State Faire Caricatures, Dwayne "The Bird" Johnson

  • Episode 342: That There's Clown Weather

    This week on WTFolklore, we read pull the ripcord on an Emergency Rutabaga Bomb, and dip back into Carl Sandburg's Rootabaga Tales, to read through How They Broke Away to go to the Rootabaga Country. Yes, "rutabaga" is spelled wrong on purpose. Prepare to learn a lot more than you ever cared to know about the gestation of Clowns.

  • Episode 340: R-E-S-P-E-C-P-C-P

    This week on WTFolklore, we read two vastly different versions of The Legend of the Hero, Menesk, which both purport to be true accounts. Shockingly, Astoundingly, and with great effort, we DO manage to make both accounts true simultaneously. All we had to do was tear open a TIME HOLE.

    Suggested talking points: The "English" to "Why-is-this-happening" Translation, The Story Equivalent of Peripheral Vision, Caked Too Hard, George Washington's Buff Boy Ethos, Justify Our Timehole
