    #7: Let's Talk Ocean Health and Patronuses

    Something that's really near and dear to our hearts here at the Gillyweed Pod is the health of our oceans! So, with the recent OHI report for the year being published this week, in today's episode we touch on the subject of ocean health! We also take a dive into what a Patronus is, and what we feel like our Patronuses each are and why.

    #6: The Tale of Tam Lin

    Have you heard the Tale of Tam Lin? Maybe you've only heard of Tamlin from somewhere else (...cough cough, hello Sarah J Maas), but we're here to tell you about the Ballad and story that has stood the test of time: that of the story from the Ballad of Tam Lin. It's an awesome piece of lore involving a man and a woman, and of course a kidnapping by the Queen of Faeries. However, the hero might not be the one you expect.... listen to hear more! ALSO, we briefly mention the plot of Sarah J Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses story- so if you want to avoid minor spoilers, please don't listen! (or do listen, just please don't be mad at us after LOL)

    #4: Terrifying Takes on Mermaids

    HAPPY ALMOST HALLOWEEEEN! For our Halloween special, we wanted to cover the scary side of our favorite ocean lore creature... mermaids. For most of us, the first thing that comes to mind when we think about mermaids is a beautiful half fish half woman, with long flowing hair. But, looking back through lore stories from across the globe, there are so many accounts and local legends of mer-like creatures that were so much more terrifying than the idea of mermaids we have in our heads. We've all heard of sirens luring men to their death with a beautiful song, but what about a terrifying screaming aquatic woman with glowing red eyes? Or amphibious 5 foot creatures with pink skin and a carp-like mouth full of tiny sharp teeth? Tune in to this episode to hear more about these terrifying takes on mermaids.
