When Gods Walked

Spellbound Audio

Before history, there were stories. Gods and monsters, heroes and tricksters, creation and destruction — every culture on earth looked at the unknown and answered it with myth. When Gods Walked retells those stories the way they were always meant to be heard: by firelight, with the full weight of what they meant to the people who told them. One tale per episode, drawn from a different corner of the world. Not a lecture. A story.
