I'm Jason Weiser, and this is a podcast where my wife and I tell stories from myths, legends, and folklore from all around the world. I try to get as close to the original stories as possible while still keeping it interesting. Sometimes thrilling, sometimes quirky and irreverent, sometimes heartfelt, I like to think this show has it all.

This was a weekly show from April 2015 until this year, and now it's every other week, so there are quite a few episodes at this point. You can start at the beginning and work your way up to the present. However, I started this podcast recording in my car and hammering out scripts on my lunch breaks, so the production value and storytelling content...varies...in the beginning.

The podcast is designed where you can pretty much jump in anywhere and get acclimated. All episodes pretty much work as standalone stories. We have longer running stories (linked below), but even those have quick blurbs to get people caught up, as sometimes there are gaps of months or even years between episodes of a similar topic. Below, there are lists to jump in, as well as my top five when I originally wrote this in, like, 2018.

Edit: I wrote this ~2018, so these episodes are older at this point. I'm leaving it here because I do like them. Honestly, we try to love all the stories we do, so I no longer have a top five.

These are my five favorite stand-alone episodes that require absolutely no background. Between the five, they are funny, sad, epic, and thrilling. If you were just going to any episodes on this podcast, please give these a shot. You can even listen right here - there's a player underneath the show art.
