About this listen

This is the Myths Your Teach Hated, a bi-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.Myths Your Teacher Hated 2017 World

  • Episode 163 - Twilight Princess
    Aug 23 2025

    This week on MYTH, we’ll travel to modern Quebec for two stories from French Canada. You’ll discover that some royal relationships are inevitable (and that’s not necessarily a bad thing), that unhappy fairies can make their grumpiness everyone else’s problem, and that you should always know where your magic ring is. Then, in Gods and Monsters, a beautiful woman getting kidnapped by pirates doesn’t usually turn out as well as it did for Elizabeth Swan in Pirates of the Caribbean.

    This week on MYTH, it’s off to southern Turtle Island for two tales of powerful supernatural creatures. You’ll see that sky gods are assholes, that boiling water is the best medicine, and that gambling is a risky business, even with a magical ace in the hole. Then, in Gods and Monsters, you can’t trust anyone when there’s a shapeshifting ogress around.

    This week on MYTH, we’re headed north of north to meet some very unusual husbands. You’ll learn that short kings make the best providers, that kayaks can be turned into submarines with a little know-how (and a lot of magic), and that you should be careful where you throw rocks. Then, in Gods and Monsters, handsome strangers are not always who they appear to be.
