What The Folklore?

A comedy podcast that exposes the absurd side of folklore. Each week we read a story, fix plotholes and create new ones, and invent unintended connections between tales.

    Episode 429: RateMyBaby.com

    Spooklore 2024 draws to a close with a reading of "The Story of a Mother", which is not so much a spooky story but a terribly depressing one, from resident sad-sack, Hans Christian Andersen. Turns out, the true horror was videogames from 1993 this whole time!

    Episode 428: Please Bloodborne My Daughter

    Spooklore 2024 continues with a reading of The Legend of the Pineapple, a story that either pushes fruit to new spooky echelons, or is a big coincidence. It's impossible to tell which.

    Spooklore 2024 continues with a reading of "Men-Wolves", a three-act story about a Witch who just can't get her one spell to work right.
