Erin_lastNameunpronounce-able ,

Thank you so much!

With every episode I listen to, my day gets better. It‘s so much fun and I keep laughing because I love the way you tell these stories! I work at an animal sanctuary and while mucking the stables it‘s really entertaining to learn about different cultures, tales and myths...and keeping my brain occupied while doing this relatively boring work. Keep up the sarcasm😂! Thank you for this podcast!🤪

Informative and funny

I'm familiar with many of the stories, but Jason's renditions (and wee asides particularly) give the sagas and myths of my childhood a great new twist. Highly recommend this to people who enjoy Lore and Hello from the Magic Tavern.

Oc.ufnik ,

Good concept and content but...

Interesting and fun stories.
But, unfortunately not told theatrically enough and rather too fast to enjoy.
Also, terrible music that is way too loudly mixed... what a shame.. could have been a huge pleasure !
