Show notes

Among the swamps and billabongs of Australia there is a vicious and terrible creature that wants to hug you to death - the Bunyip! We're headed down under to explore this fearsome, chimeric cryptid. Is it a diprotodon? Is it a giant platypus? Who knows?!

This week we discuss the Domovoi, the small, hairy, old man that might live under your stove and originates in Slavic folklore. He helps with chores, predicts the future, doesn't like to be seen, and sometimes burns your house down! Good times! Note that we do have a lot of tangents this week, so, sorry about that…

Episode 7 - Modern Folklore #1 Nov 04, 2018

Show notes

Join us for our first "Modern Folklore" episode! We narrate 3 stories as we delve into the world of No Sleeps, Creepypastas, and Let's Not Meets, which are the kinds of tales that folklore stems from. Things that are unexplained and a little creepy, things that might be real but we don't necessarily want them to be, things that keep us up at night or that we tell our children and grandchildren. We hope you enjoy, and if you have any tales you've written and you'd like them to be considered for narration, email us at modern@folkloreontherocks.com!

Episode 6 - Spooktacular Special Part 2 Oct 28, 2018

Show notes

The Spooktacular goodness continues with Part 2! October is our favorite time of year so we wanted to bring you something a little different, in the form of real-life ghost stories and creature encounters. Tales like these are the seeds that folklore springs from. We hope you enjoy them, because we certainly did!

This and next week's episode are a little different than usual in that we have a special guest! That means there is more commentary, it's a little more casual, and we talk about things we usually don't touch on in our normal episodes - but, whether you're a believer or a skeptic, all opinions and views have value and veracity. As we discuss in part 1 - each person's reality is entirely different from everyone else's. And we all really live in the matrix, anyway. ;)

Cocktail of the week (well, 2 weeks): The Grave Robber. See here for recipe and pics: http://folkloreontherocks.com/show-notes-for-episode-5-spooktacular-special-part-1
