Jason Weiser and Carissa Weiser tell 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.

5/5
I love the style of the storytelling, it’s fun and witty. He even makes the sponsor mentionings funny and interesting! All in all, I can’t recommend this podcast enough. It’s one of my favourites.
Tv watchers will love it.
The reader attempts to modernize old myths and legends by adopting a Californian valley accent and injecting “after school special” style dumb humor and generic pop culture references.
Interesting and funny
I love your style of storytelling. It’s fun to listen to the stories and creature of the week because of the way you tell the stories and the way you play out the dialogues in a modern, witty style. I always like to imagine the characters in the stories based on the way they are brought to life by you. And your voice makes it comfortable to listen to the podcast. Keep up the great work!
