Episode 335: A Living, Breathing Chore Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

This week on WTFolklore we read The Snow, The Crow, and The Blood, a story largely about none of those things! Surprise!
It IS a cautionary tale about letting your horny be your guide in life, and falling under the charming spell of a little red man who needs some extra dps for his sidequests. But at the end of the day, he'll help you lobotomize a lady of your choosing, so you decide if it's a good deal or not.

Suggested talking points: Jiminy Dicket, See a Woman Take a Woman, The Usual Folktale "Amp-Em-Ups", Lil' Redman's Trick-or-Treat Adventure, Devil Husbando, Emotional Support Beard

Episode 332: The Last AND First Straw May 03, 2022

Show notes

This week on WTFolklore we revolutionize book-buying, before then convincing you to never buy a book again by reading The Story of Jason Squiff and Why He had a Popcorn Hat, Popcorn Mittens, Popcorn Shoes, a distinctly American tale. Either that, or this recording is just a long stretch of static, you tell me.

Suggested talking points: Chadow, Shrek Fathomed a Dragon, D'Aulnoy's Second Life, Headmaster Portlchortl, Believe In Raymond, Quopquorn
