442: Greek Myths: The Poseidon Adventures

51 min
View

๐Ÿ”ฑIt's Poseidon's turn.

On the podcast. Not to be king of the gods. He's actually totally not mad that his little brother is king. Because Zeus isn't the king of him. But Poseidon does do everything his brother says. Not because Zeus told him to, though. He just planned to do it anyway, so no problem.

๐Ÿ˜ˆ The Creature: The Alan

Just don't boil Alan's kids and you're good.

440: Monkey King: The Shakedown

54 min

๐Ÿ’ Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, knows a demon shakedown when he sees it.

And what's happening in this town, where people need to pay upwards of $30k (in 2026 USD) a year to a Buddha they never see? That's a shakedown. Does his master, the Tang Monk, believe him? Of course he doesn't.

๐Ÿ˜ˆ The Creature: Man-dragon

Hey, just because man-dragon knows something bad is about to happen and shows up there ahead of time doesn't mean he's obligated to tell you the bad thing that's going to happen.

๐Ÿผ If your parent goes through the trouble of getting you superpowers...

๐Ÿ Who knew packing so many epic Norse heroes into a single house could have such disastrous consequences?

Not Odin, that's for sure. There's trouble brewing in Valhalla, and there's only one man who knows how to solve it: Skรญรฐi, the smartest famous man of our world, Midgard. But, has the world of Midgard changed too much since Odin last looked in on it?

431: Turkish folklore: These Dreams

49 min
View

โœจCobbler Ahmet just wants to fix shoesโœจ

But his wife wants those sweet, sweet bath reservations, so it looks like he's going to go be the Chief Astrologer to the Sultan. The only problem(s)? He doesn't like astrology, doesn't know how to do it, and starts out by selling his astrology by the side of the highway.

That's actually the second story, because this week there are two stories of two Ahmets following dreams. On the first is junkman Ahmet, who has the same wonderful dream every night...except when it stops being wonderful, and starts getting real, he learns that sometimes following your dreams can be painful. And also weird.

๐Ÿ˜ˆ The Creature: Wapaloosie

If you find you're always misplacing your gloves, they might be actively crawling away from you...because they're made from the fur of a Wapaloosie, a half squirrel, half dachshund, half caterpillar.

๐Ÿ‘žGoria the shoemaker has a bad boss๐Ÿ‘ž

Is his boss the devil? Literally...well, no. Is the devil that Goria meets in a bar actually better than his boss? 100% yes.

๐Ÿ˜ˆ The Creature: Jack-in-Irons

A creature who made it a bad thing to walk around threatening people with a spiky club and wearing human heads. Thanks, Jack.

428: Monkey King: The Pride

61 min
View
๐ŸบInside each of us there are two wolves. They are named 'Shifty' and 'Freaky'.๐Ÿบ

Which one wins? Well it doesn't matter because they're both demons so maybe try to starve both of them out. Or spit in their faces and steal their name tags, like Sun Wukong does. No wrong answers because, in the world of the Journey to the West, anything goes.

But for real, we catch back up with Monkey, Sandy, Pigsy, and the Tang Monk on their travels as they enter year 14 and the final leg of their journey. But are they ready for what awaits them?

๐Ÿ˜ˆ The Creature: Intulo

An evil walking and talking lizard who just wants to watch the world die. But only if he has to die, eventually. He does? Ok, then bye, world.

๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธSo, you think your stepmom might be a sorceress๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธ

Common problem. Well, common for fairy tales, at least. But, have you thought that she might not like you putting her in a box and deciding what she is before you even get to know her? It's something you might want to think about. Definitely because you shouldn't be prejudiced. Also because if she's really a sorceress do you really want to make her mad?

๐Ÿ˜ˆ The Creature: Ipupiara

A hairy, smelly merman who's just trying to keep up with the trends.

๐Ÿงžโ€โ™‚๏ธTrying to meet the love of your life? Maybe ask for help from two genies trying to kill each other.๐Ÿงžโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Even if you're not trying to meet the love of your life or, like the characters in today's story, actively trying to avoid meeting the love of your life because you really don't want to marry, you still might end up falling for someone anyway. And then maybe dying of a broken heart because that's apparently actually a thing.

๐Ÿ˜ˆ The Creature: Ebu Gogo

They will take your stuff and your children...and then ask the children how to cook themselves because no one wants to eat raw children, not even hairy monsters with (maybe) dog teeth.

Info on the science behind Pacagen:
  • The vast majority of cat allergies are triggered by a single allergen called Fel d 1. Your allergies are triggered when you breathe in or come into contact with this allergen. But if that allergen is broken down or neutralized before you come into contact with it, thereโ€™s nothing to trigger your allergies!
  • Pacagenโ€™s Cat Allergen Neutralizing Spray is especially safe because the WhiskerBlock proteins powering the formula are extremely specific. That means that they do one thing and one thing only โ€“ bind to and neutralize Fel d 1. With this level of specificity, you can avoid pesky side effects caused by other ingredients that other companies use that have other effects beyond just stopping the allergens that trigger your cat allergies.ย

๐ŸบMeet Cambrinus, things aren't going so well for him๐ŸบHe's a peasant kid with a job that's going nowhere, a crush who doesn't love him back, and no one takes him seriously when he absolutely knocks it out of the park playing the viola. If only he knew he was destined to be legendary King of Beer.

๐Ÿ˜ˆ The Creature: The Cocoa
A two-foot-long sparkling cat sounds like a lot of fun. Until it's very much not.
