Jason Weiser tells 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.

Customer Reviews
Finally my review
Jason has done a great job retelling the story’s here in humorous ways and is a fantastic bedtime storyteller.
Amazing
My partner and I are currently traveling New Zealand’s South Island and let me tell you...this podcast is exactly what we needed. This podcast provides something for everyone and Jason’s gift of storytelling really makes the listener feel like they’re in the world. Thanks Jason and team!
The saga begins
This is the only podcast I ever listen to. I think that you should defiantly keep going on the story’s we all know. Like you know how you did Thor and the Olympians and all of them. Keep it up and never stop
