Great hidden gem 💎
Podcast Addict57 months ago@patrickjones- Good writing, good music, great atmosphere
Feels just like sitting around a campfire being told stories meant in equal part to warn and to entertain. A great continuation of the human tradition of oral storytelling. Highly recommended if you enjoy folklore or mythology.

Australia5 years ago - A Severely Underrated Podcast
The passion for myth, folklore, and storytelling that Nicole brings to each episode is palpable. The research, music, and excellent drop-in guests are only outdone by the podcast’s true unsung hero: Nicole’s writing skills. She seriously has some chops! Every now and then a sentence floats by that I have to rewind, sit down and just savor. (The entrance of Baba Yaga’s white legs from the trees, the Sami stumbling upon diseased faces of the dead in the mountain... Nicole Schmidt’s voice shines wh... more

Very unusual and interesting stories told in a soothing and informative way! Very enjoyable
Apple Podcasts5Fcw123United Kingdom7 years ago - Very Good, memories of elders campfire.
Memories of the storyteller, the shaman’s compatriot, the wise elders and the master-craft of sitting around the campfire with ears and eyes fixed on the flames or the speaker but fully on the texture, colour, breadth, depth, journey, the fear, laughter but at the chore learning. So settle in your cabin on the furs, around the hearth, under a canopy in a tent of poles and skins, around the central flame as the smoke drifts up through the the flume at the cross beams of staves, mingling with the ... more

Apple Podcasts4carmilla DUnited States8 years ago - Refreshing
In a world of awkward-sounding and too-long podcasts, Mythos is refreshing. Her narration is artful and beautifully hypnotic. Sldo, the presentation is fresh and I learn something new every time.
Apple Podcasts5synestheticonUnited States8 years ago - A Gripping Storytelling Experience
Basically, the idea of this show seems to be to tell the stories of mythology and folkloric creatures, but in a manner similar to the way your parents might tell you a bedtime story. And doing so seems to really bring to life the original purpose of these creatures in a way that other retellings seem to miss. I have nothing against a good academic analysis, but it's also healthy to have that balanced with a good shot of adrenaline now and then. And the host of this show seems to have just the ri... more
