  • Episode 484: The Wizard of Teeth (The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather Part 3)

    Even though it says "Part 3" in the  title, we close out Part 2 of The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather this week, thus bringing an end to our tale of a guy so dumb and annoying he caused the very concept of death to exist.

    Suggested talking points: One Cat One Taco, The Minions Pit, We're Putting for Bogey on this Folktale, The Ol' "Panini Hands" of Sadness, A Room Dedicated to Corn and Corn-Enjoyment, Longing to Return to the Lava Dimension

  • Episode 483: Unanimous Vote from the Bug Council (The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather Part 2)

    This week, we conclude at least Part 1 of The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather, having learned nothing about said Red Feather, but a surprising amount about bugs, their legs, and the lexicon of demons and wizards.

    Suggested talking points: My Breaths Aren't Finite, Armpits of Steel, Caring is at a Minimum, Dropped Bundles From Weak-Armpited Men Running from Bug Children, The Problem of the Hot Lady, Strengthen Your Thoughts with Manliness, We're So Sick of These Horny Men, I'd Put a Bug in a Headlock

  • Episode 482: Part 1 of Part 1 of ? (Part 1)

    This week on WTFolklore, we begin an unexpectedly long journey into The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather, a Zuñi Folktale that we've barely scratched the surface on, if the episode title serves as any indication

    Suggested talking points: Dream Tyler Redemption, What If Tom Clancy Bought a Farm, Sad-squatch, Optimus Dad-Bot, Screaming in Two Languages, Spare Not the Armpits, Yelling "BLOOD!" in a Crowded Theater

  • Episode 481: A Cow Could be a Bird

    We're back to regularly scheduled antics after surviving d'Aulnoy again, this time to read The Dun Cow, a story that would've fazed us a decade ago, but to which we now find ourselves unfortunately inured.

    A slightly-less-but-still-bite-sized episode of WTFolklore as the Whimbus continues to throw its tantrums on us. This time we crack open a tome that threatens to remain with us for some time to come, The Cats' Arabian Nights, or, King Grimalkum
