    Episode 6: Gameunjang the Korean Goddess

    Episode 6: Gameunjang the Korean Goddess

    This classic myth from Korean folklore has an ending that we didn’t see coming! Universal motifs in a uniquely Korean context make for a great episode (with some top-notch drunken diversions).

favourite mythology podcast

I love what you do here, and for a long time mythology nerd the mainstream stuff like greek mythology arent that fun anymore, but you guys made it fresh and interesting all over. I dont only love hearing stories I dont know, I love hearing takes on ones i already do on this podcast. And its not so much the booze as it is the feminist and often queer approach to things, where you stop and think "wow, these hosts think more like me, they sound like ppl id hang out with" Its refreshing and it makes this one of those podcasts i put on when I'm alone to feel less alone.
