Myths and Legends

Auteur(s): Jason Weiser Carissa Weiser Nextpod
  • Résumé

  • Jason Weiser and Carissa Weiser tell stories from myths, legends, and folklore that have shaped cultures throughout history. Some, like the stories of Aladdin, King Arthur, and Hercules are stories you think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are stories you might not have heard, but really should. All the stories are sourced from world folklore, but retold for modern ears. These are stories of wizards, knights, Vikings, dragons, princesses, and kings from the time when the world beyond the map was a dangerous and wonderful place.

  • 408: Knights of the Round Table: Hither and Thither
    May 7 2025
    🏰When a knight says he'll be right back, he means it Unless he dies. Or gets captured. Or just forgets about it, prompting his son to come looking for him in the land of wickedness...and also maybe saving Camelot in the process? It's the story of Sir Morien.

    😈 The Creature: The Kaichigo

    All those games you haven't played are lonely...and also maybe messing with your stuff in the basement.

    🍼Have a budding tyrant? You need a snarky talking baby🍼 Yenga Naa is wiser than the chief. How do you know? Well, he named himself that...the moment he was born.

    😈 The Creature: The Cornu
    How do you torment sinners without getting your hands dirty? The cornu, that's how.

  • 406: Slavic folklore: Udder Nonsense
    Apr 9 2025
    🐄Baba Yaga, Dragons, Giant Talking Pigs🐄 We'll see what happens when a king who wants one son gets more than he bargained for: three sons, with the oddest one of all, the one capable of calming dragons (when he's not slaying them) and outsmarting giant evil pigs (when he's not slaying them), being born...from a cow.

    😈 The Creature: Coliunn Gun Cheaun
    The worst, best headless friend you hopefully never had.

The best source for mythology content

Hands down my favourite podcast. The stories are well crafted adaptions of the original stories, and across so many genres and cultures that you can get a taste of everything.

My only issue is that there are not enough episodes, because once you get through the backlog, there is nothing else that scratches the itch like Myths and Legends.

You can very easily get hooked on it, and like me, will then be patiently waiting as new episodes come out

Amazing Podcast

Typically episodic, but always tells you exactly what episode you could go back to if you care to get the full picture.

Amazing voice, well put together, and it's great to see the progress from the first episode
