About this listen

 Ever wonder how elves went from being mysterious Norse nature spirits to Santa's overworked toy factory employees? In this episode of Mythtakes Were Made, we’re unraveling the chaotic history of these little legends. From the original álfar—who were basically glow-in-the-dark demigods—to the sneaky, shoe-fixing cobbler kind, and finally to the jolly North Pole workforce, elves have had a wild career arc. Were they magical protectors, professional pranksters, or just the original gig workers? Grab your pointiest ears and join us as we get to the bottom of it. Warning: This episode contains terrible elf puns and one too many "elf-employed" jokes. You've been warned!
