    Folktales XXV

    Folktales XXV

    Folktales TWENTY FIVE! Our multiples of five are usually great, and this one is no exception. A lady who slays serpents (and judges you if you can't slay serpents), a girl who wants to go out with her friends to get new teeth (as one does), an 'ugly' man who tricks his beautiful wife, a village who has to move because of cursed bananas, and a gaslighting husband. Yikes.

THE podcast.

This is not a “good” podcast. This is THE podcast. I want to travel the world with these women, their content is that wholesome, hilarious, and interesting. From one history loving lady who enjoys the juicy, lesser known bits of past happenings, THANK YOU Emily & Madi. Every episode is a hoot and a half.
