We are awash in life-lessons this week on WTFolklore, as we read The Special Platypus, an Australian tale that provides us with further intel into the interpersonal lives of the humble Platypod. We also learn about healthy boundaries, who does and doesn't need the approval of a titmouse, and just how much Weather.com thinks it's worth

Episode 312: Artisinal Small-Batch Crimes Nov 02, 2021

Episode 308: It's Hip to be Crab Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

This week we're reading Dr. Know-All, which is Grimm Tale #98. Or it could've been the Griww brothers, accounts vary. We hypothesize it may have been the origin of the farce, as well as the evolutionary junction for humans towards crabs.

Suggested talking points: Agents of the Nothing, Doct Rs Us, A Fatal Amount of Food, A Doctorate in General Awareness

Episode 307: Glistening Ab Hologram of Your Dad's Approval Sep 21, 2021

Show notes

This week we're reading The Devil and the Guachinango from the Philippines, and given that title, you'd probably never guess which of those characters we find more sympathetic. Who are we kidding, if you've listened to the previous 306 episodes you've probably got a good idea

Suggested talking points: An Hit Wonder, The Urge, Devil-Sized Jars, Digging Holes for Exposure, Stuck Marrying a Devil in a 21 ft. Hole, Many Much More Money
