The story of Daedalus and Icarus is much more than just Icarus flying too close to the sun. Daedalus, the inventor, is directly responsible for the labyrinth and the Minotaur. He's a man whose will to survive and desire for significance drives him to make magnificent things, which only bring death, destruction, and tragedy for him and everyone around him.
On the creature of the week, you'll learn how you can keep a Russian forest-dweller from playing pranks on you. All you have to do is burn his entire forest to the ground.

Hi, I just wanted to say that I love your podcast and the way you humorously tell each story while still painting a picture of anything and everything from a tearful goodbye to a tense dinner. I actually sketched up a drawing of Icarus falling based on your description in this podcast because the way that you described that scene was so amazing that I had to draw it. Thanks again and keep it up!
