This is the Myths Your Teach Hated, a weekly podcast where I tell the stories of cultures around the world in all of their original, bloody, uncensored glory. Modern tellings of these stories have become dry and dusty, but I’ll be trying to breathe new life into them. These stories are NSFW.

Episode 131B - Theseus and the Minotaur
This week on MYTH, Theseus will finally face his most famous foe - the Minotaur. You’ll see why you should never trust your uncle, why you should be careful who you give your heart to, and why you should spend more time being a king and less being an adventurer. Then, in Gods and Monsters, Icarus and Daedalus will attempt a daring escape from the tallest tower of Crete.

Episode 131A - Oracles and Omens
This week on MYTH, we’re heading to ancient Greece to meet one of its most famous (or perhaps infamous) heroes - Theseus. You’ll discover what ancient paternity tests looked like, how to kill someone with a bed, and why not all heroes are good guys. Then, in Gods and Monsters, we’re traveling back in time for the origin story of Theseus’ greatest foe and the inventor of its prison.

Episode 130 - King of the Ghosts
This week on MYTH, we’re headed to the wilds of Rwanda to follow a wily hunter on the prowl. You’ll discover that you shouldn’t bet on a game unless you’re good at it, that you shouldn’t ignore bad dreams, and that you shouldn’t marry someone unless you’re sure they’re not a shapeshifter. Then, in Gods and Monsters, a young woman is going to wonder if she’s fallen in love with a monster.

An Otter's Ransom
This week on MYTH, we’re getting a double dose of Loki goodness. You’ll see what an otter costs, where to get gold on short notice, and what a curse can really do. Then, in Gods and Monsters, our favorite trickster is going to get himself (and everyone else) into a very interesting bargain.

King Shark
This week on MYTH, we’re headed to the shores of Hawaii for our own mini shark week. You’ll discover that sharks have the best lobsters, that shark royal courts are vicious and suspicious places, and that you can cook a delicious meal inside a shark. Then, in Gods and Monsters, we’ll meet a different but perhaps familiar shark king from the comics.

Episode 127 - I'm Not Lion
This week on MYTH, we’re gonna look for lions in unexpected places. You’ll learn that it’s surprisingly hard not to lose a herd of cows, that it’s surprisingly easy to find a hidden palace, and that human hair makes great thread. Then, in Gods and Monsters, we’ll discover that help can come from the most unexpected of places.

Customer Reviews
Yes!!!
These podcasts are so entertaining and interesting. Great listening and good laughs.
A Cheap Myths & Legends Knockoff
This podcast entirely rips off Jason Weiser’s Myths & Legends format. The entire format, just without the wit and humor of M&L. Even uses all the same stories. There is nothing original here. Like a junior high school kid, he thinks if he adds f-bombs all over the place it makes it “hardcore”. The sound quality is awful. Just go listen to Myths & Legends, it’s so much better
Awesomely Funny
This guy is awesome. Great storytelling, properly researched, and NSFW. He takes the lame, boring, or mundane stories that we all have heard, then adds a little extra.
