#47 Mythical Dogs & the Lusca

#48 Apollo's Temple & the Ozark Howler

Jack gives us the weirdest tale of how Apollo, the God of being a teacher's pet, gets himself full-time employees using a dolphin. Also you get to hear our spot on dolphin impressions. Then Jana dresses in a raccoon hat and tell us of the swarthy Ozark Howler who truly encapsulates the word swarthy. And we totally know the definition.

#47 Mythical Dogs & the Lusca

After a horrible week of being so sick Jana couldn't get out of bed...she and the podcast is BACK! Jack makes the producer, June, jealous by talking about dogs!! Jack visits Egyption, Norse, and Greek mythology and we chat about the goodest (or maybe not) boys.Then Jana dives back into the deep and gives us the tale...or tentacle...of the elusive Lusca.

#46 The Original Talos & Mokele-mbembe

Welp- we had to record it twice. But the second one had brand new tangents. Jack tells us all about Talos, not to be confused with Talos, the much beloved Skyrim God. The producer had to edit out way too many Skyrim jokes. Then Jana tells us about the mysterious Mokele-mbembe in the Congo! No matter what you believe Donald Prothero thinks its sus. And my new favorite animal is a rinosaur.

#45 P2 Ebony Horse & Jinn

The extra long awaited for episode...Ebony Horse part 2! Last week Jack left us on a cliffhanger on what happens next when the Prince and horse just flew away??? Basically, in part two we have a lot of Sad Boy Kings and a steep character arch for Rude Boy Prince. Then Jana manages to grasp the episode theme and tells us about the supernatural being known as the Jinn! And BuzzFeed even makes an appearance with nightmarish stories. Also- we mastered fear...just be annoyed instead. Sites & Sources: Tales from 1,001 Nights - Translated by Malcom C.
