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 168 - Sleeping Handsome
    Nov 1 2025

    This week on MYTH, we're headed to India for a strange, old inversion of the sleeping beauty trope. You'll learn that dolls can talk, that you shouldn't trust people who are too flexible, and that you should stay out of magical doors. Then, in Gods and Monsters, a barber will match wits with a demon with the help of his trusty mirror.

    Episode 167 - Fear Itself
    Oct 23 2025

    This week on MYTH, it's once again time for my favorite tradition - the annual Halloween special. You'll see that folklore fathers are the worst, that going in search of fear may not be safe but it can be rewarding, and that you can do a lot with the right tools. Then, in Gods and Monsters, a demonic spirit lurks in the seas off the coast of Scotland.

    Episode 166 - Wrongful Death
    Oct 4 2025

    This week on MYTH, we'll travel to Korea for a tale from when tigers used to smoke tobacco pipes. You'll learn that even supernatural bureaucracy makes mistakes, that the king of the underworld is usually a pretty chill guy, and that you should always have proof for your post-mortem messages. Then, in Gods and Monsters, a tiger will face off against its greatest foe - a fussy baby.
