  • Episode 48: Terminally Quenched

    This week we're reading two stories from way back that combined, Voltron-like, into the Little Red Riding Hood that we know today. We're going to stick these in our fairy tale Hardon Collider and explore the more fecal nature of these stories.

    Suggested talking points: treacherous retirement home, burnclothes.exe, Little Red Riding Poop, grandmother cannibalism, little yellow riding hood, Grandma I'd Like to Eat, Fairy tale Inspector Clouseau, the first ever focus group, the real ending of the Fox and the Hound, Baker's leavings, educational metal music videos

  • Episode 47: Cornhammer 40K

    Our studies have happened upon a very roundabout mating ritual, in which one party connects a long train of events to predict doom, and the other party does exactly nothing to prevent those events. And somehow this adds up to a marriage. On episode 47 of "What the Folklore?" we read "Clever Elsie."

  • Episode 46: 1984 and the Power of Wishful Thinking

    A new era of darkness is upon us. We may have accidentally stumbled, in Lovecraftian fashion, upon the inner meaninglessness of folklore: anything is anything, and nothing is nothing. Nothing matters. Hold your lantern of knowledge high as you enter this cavern, and seek a better truth than we could find. This week we read "King Lindorm."

    Suggested talking points: Kid Dracula, snakegate eternal, Google's pain function, Denmarkese, psychic detective bed, celebrity birth control, human wedding approximation, Red Knight's Beef, ye olde fetish porn, mad libs curse

  • Ramblecast 46

    An excerpt of unused material taken from episode 46 of "What the Folklore?", wherein we start off with a terrible, heartless sweatshop for immigrants to make cheap merchandise for us that slowly turns into a terrible, heartless fake college so art students can make free merchandise for us. We also discuss the uses for a recording of childbirth inside a sensory deprivation chamber.

  • Episode 45: Bearisimilitude

    Happy whatever, folklore people! We're trying our best to get festive with this week's story, though our holidays generally don't involve multi-level ghost trickery and the giving of bears as intimidation presents. This week we read "The Bear and the Skrattle."

    Suggested talking points: Kramptite, Last Minute Goose, PokeBear, Tubthumping, Unsolicited Feng Shui, Canvas Frisbee, Leftover Gloop, Bruce Skrattlestein, Hard Out Here for an Imp

  • Episode 44: Drop Bear Buffet

    On an infinite plane, where every story arc forms a line, they all have to cross somewhere. This week's story is the spot where Welsh Mythology crosses paths with Space Jam 2, the plot of which we have assuredly figured out: featuring Larry Bird as a time-traveling, birth-sensing, horse-collector. This week we read "The Legend of Rhiannon and Pwyll."

    Suggested talking points: Sponsor recruiting, punching Mirror of Erised, butt contact, suitor entrapment, Wisconsinbadgercornhole.com, wife givsies-backsies, the most fired midwives, the 7-year intensive bullying course, CSI Ancient Wales, live badger hackeysack, Anglo-Saxon Sasquatch, Space Jam 2, birth signals, seismic gooshing

    An excerpt of unused material taken from episode 44 of "What the Folklore?", wherein we discuss infiltrating penguin law; whether a penguin would honor a human-penguin engagement given enough pebbles, and how much different crimes are worth to them.
