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.

Amazing, amazing, amazing!
This podcast is my new favourite. Fun, informative and with the right amount of swear words. Brilliant range of myths and a fun way of describing them. So many things I love: the intro music, the logo artwork and the 'Gods and Monsters' section. Simply awesome!
