  • This podcast is the best!❣️❣️

    I love learning about creatures of myth and folklore, and this podcast is perfect for just that! I think my favorite episode so far is the Kitsune one. I’ve always loved foxes, so a shapeshifting fox spirit? 💖💖💖

    I also really enjoyed the one about the Nekomata. The way the cat monsters tail splits towards the end gives me Espeon vibes. I really love it when a monster is clearly the inspiration for a Pokémon!

  • An awesome podcast

    This is a great podcast for anyone even vaguely interested in mythology and the bits at the end about modern media is a nice touch but please do an episode on wizards and one on gnomes and Dragonborn’s
