A comedy podcast that exposes the absurd side of folklore. Each week we read a story, fix plotholes and create new ones, and invent unintended connections between tales.

Episode 409: The Backpack of Dorian Gray
This week on WTFolklore, we read The Goose Girl at the Well, A Grimm Brothers' tale that has absolutely nothing to do with any previously mentioned Goose-Women on our program.
Apologies for any audio hiccups, we had some very strange glitches this week that I've cleaned up the best I can. -

Episode 408: A Mysterious Fellow with a Slight Cherry Scent
This week on WTFolklore, we read "Nani Daughter of Nani", A Palestinian story who's title omits a FASCINATING detail about said character. You'll have to listen in to find out for yourself.

Episode 407: The Think-About-What-You've-Dungeon
This week we read "The Enchanted Ring". No, not that one, the other one, from Russia. This obviously means we had to infuse it with some timely, seasonal holiday flair of our own.

Episode 406: Middle-Manager-Slash-King Tiger
This week we read "The Tiger King's Gift". No, not that one, the other one, from India. We actually meet a trinity of animal kings, so we encourage you to tag yourself among them.

Episode 405: A Blackbelt in Royalty
This week we read The Bird Catcher, from Serbia. It features either the very best or the very worst agent of Project Birdfall. We'll let you decide which.
CONTENT WARNING: Infrequent, but repeated mentions of domestic violence.

WTFolklore!
This is my favorite podcast of all time! Carmen, Gordy, and Tyler are the PERFECT confluence of intelligence, bewilderment, and humor! And if you enjoy a good, long-running inside joke, this is the show for you!
Episode 341
Read the second Harriet Hampsterbone book. It is a better version of the story of the 12 dancing princessess. I’m not in double digits yet but I still love your podcast. You’re great but I think you grossly misjudge children.
Makes me laugh
Love hearing all the wacky folk tales, etc that they find that we don’t hear much in pop culture. Also want to see every movie that they come up with based off these tales lol
