This week on MYTH, we’ll travel to Korea for a tale from when tigers used to smoke tobacco pipes. You’ll learn that even supernatural bureaucracy makes mistakes, that the king of the underworld is usually a pretty chill guy, and that you should always have proof for your post-mortem messages. Then, in Gods and Monsters, a tiger will face off against its greatest foe - a fussy baby.

This week on MYTH, we’ll catch up with our old pal Sinbad for his third legendary voyage. You’ll learn that you should really take the hint after the ocean tries to kill you twice, that it pays to know your classic mythology (even inside other mythology), and that it rarely ends well to be a nameless red shirt on a dangerous voyage with a folk hero. Then, in Gods and Monsters, a cousin of the great roc will teach us the secrets of modern obstetrics.
