  • Episode 488: Detective Tardigrade is on the Case!
    May 26 2026

    After reading a much-too-long epic (that really could've been boiled down to a single episode), we decided we needed a palette cleanser. For some reason, we also decided that palette cleanser would be Hans Christian Andersen. This week, we read The Rose Elf.

    May 19 2026

  • Episode 486: The Wrong Eyes Blinking (The Story of Harap Alb, Part 2)
    May 12 2026

    This week on WTFolklore, cooler heads prevail, and instead of alternating back and forth between epics, we pick up where we left off last time and read Chapters 2 and 3 of The Story of Harap Alb, titled Under the Power of Bald-Man and The Bear's Lettuce and The Stag's Precious Stones

    Suggested talking points: Putting the "Monster" in Pocket Monster, King of the "One Guy Plays Every Guy" Genre, The Sheer Power of Upies, In This Place There are ONLY Bald Men, You Can Trust a Dad Who is Dressed as a Bear, A Beary Scary Sleeping Bag
