The conclusion to the dwarf with the long beard, a story about a dwarf. And a long beard. And entering the ear canals of magic horses for fun and profit. We'll see the epic struggle between brothers come to an end, as well as a powerful argument in favor of facial hair.
The creature this time is big, warm cat named Big Ears! He has Big Ears! And an army of demonic cats to do his will!

Yes I know I am late to all of the Myths and Legends. I started in chronological order and I made it hear. I have loved all of your telling but this single one. Whether it is your fault or not I feel that there are waaaaay to many ex machina for this to even be a bit likeable. I understand that the good guy is suppose to win in most of these old stories but come on…anyways thanks for all your hard work. Just felt like speaking my mind.
As always, a great story and a great delivery! I must say that I was a little bit surprised at first when I started listening to the first part, but I quickly realized that it was, actually, a VERY well-known story in Russia…only not as a fairy tale! For anyone who’s familiar with Russian literature out there, it’s very similar to the epic (told in a poem form) tale “Ruslan and Lyudmila” by Alexander Pushkin, the, arguably, greatest Russian poets and classics. There are some differences between the poem and the original story – for one, the names are not the same, but I am quite sure that the story you told on the podcast is the one that lies in the foundation of “Ruslan and Lyudmila”. Pushkin had a nanny who used to tell him folk tales, and a lot of his epic was later based on these tales. Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do! I look forward for these podcasts every week!
