Myths and Legends

De: Jason Weiser Carissa Weiser Nextpod
  • Resumen

  • 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.

    🍺Meet Cambrinus, things aren't going so well for him🍺 He'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.

Fun & Educational,

my favorite storyteller telling my favorite stories. this wife & husband team are great, they focus on the entire family being able to enjoy their take on myth & legends, they fill this episode with their humor which ensures they nudge you to LISTEN TO JUST ONE MORE EPISODE.
