    434: Norse Mythology: The Old Man and the Stick

    06.05.2026 | 1 Std.
    🐐 Who knew packing so many epic Norse heroes into a single house could have such disastrous consequences?

    Not Odin, that's for sure. There's trouble brewing in Valhalla, and there's only one man who knows how to solve it: Skíði, the smartest famous man of our world, Midgard. But, has the world of Midgard changed too much since Odin last looked in on it?
    😈 The Creature: Lusca

    If you see octopus hands feeling around your boat, you better not toss that empty plastic bottle into the ocean. Probably don't do that anyway, actually. Littering is gross.

    432: Japanese folklore: Sword it Out

    08.04.2026 | 1 Std. 13 Min.
    🍜Samurai Pirates, Stabby Sumo Wrestlers, and Punchable Oni
    Are the consequences of Jiuyemon's actions. 
    We all make mistakes. Too many of the samurai Jiuyemon's mistakes involved killing people with a sword while drunk, though. While the heat dies down, he needs to start a new life in exile. As a toothpaste salesman.
    😈 The Creature: Kappa

    Famous for being cute and giving boat rides in Animal Crossing! Don't ask about what he used to get up to before he was a kawaii manga star, though! It definitely doesn't involve eating humans and having multiple anuses!

    431: Turkish folklore: These Dreams

    25.03.2026 | 53 Min.
    ✨Cobbler Ahmet just wants to fix shoes✨
    But his wife wants those sweet, sweet bath reservations, so it looks like he's going to go be the Chief Astrologer to the Sultan. The only problem(s)? He doesn't like astrology, doesn't know how to do it, and starts out by selling his astrology by the side of the highway.
    That's actually the second story, because this week there are two stories of two Ahmets following dreams. On the first is junkman Ahmet, who has the same wonderful dream every night...except when it stops being wonderful, and starts getting real, he learns that sometimes following your dreams can be painful. And also weird.
    😈 The Creature: Wapaloosie

    If you find you're always misplacing your gloves, they might be actively crawling away from you...because they're made from the fur of a Wapaloosie, a half squirrel, half dachshund, half caterpillar.

    430: Finnish folklore: Worn Out

    11.03.2026 | 50 Min.
    ✏️Osmo is a pretty solid sketch artist✏️
    He’s not drawing a criminal, though. He’s drawing his sister, whose only crime is stealing the prince’s heart. And also maybe trying to escape the prison of the sea king, but that comes later.
    😈 The Creature: The Jurua

    Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, there’s the jurua who is taking their family out to a nice dinner…of your flesh. Hope you’re wearing the right creeper.
