Episode 103: The Church of the Knife Jan 17, 2017

Show notes

We accidentally invented a whole new religion for this episode, in which we're reading "Unanana and the Elephant." There are some ties to a recent popular addition to the Folklore Mythos, and what we like most in a story: a character with a plan.

Suggested talking points: Choo Choo 99, super round babies, police extensions, Babar gets gutted by an angry woman, the bean payoff, the Tony Robbins of the Way of the Knife, knife miracles, the Beauty-Eater, beauty-flippers

Ramblecast 103 Jan 15, 2017

Show notes

The news this week is a little bit too juicy not to dive into this week, so we're contemplating our existential democracy. It's a pretty messed up world out there, but we're here to filter everything for you into something more palatable.

Episode 102: Reverse Matilda Jan 10, 2017

Show notes

Suggested talking points: an aristocratic reading stand, centaur-bear, beef buds, a treasure trove of iconography, Twisty Rick the Oakslinger, a stingy baker's dozen, notarized beef squadThis week's story "John the Bear" makes a nice addition to the Ur-Story, giving us some room to speculate wildly as to what's going on. A quasi-bear-man kills a bunch of devils in this week, it's pretty weird all around.

Show notes

This week we're discussing the possibilities of a folklore Tinder profile/dating service, and delving into a brand new area for comedy: what makes men and women different? Amiright??!?!

Bonus: A What the Folklore Micro-Holiday Jan 03, 2017

Show notes

This is not really a formal episode, but we received a very lovely box of stuff from a listener and decided that we should open it on air, and added in a few gifts to each other as well: if you'd like to join us, feel free! We got each other some pretty dumb gifts. But the listener box was amazing.

Episode 101: The Great Tim Gunn In the Sky Jan 03, 2017

Show notes

We're all back in the same room for the first time in over a week, fresh off the holidays! We've got another one from the Washington state area, called "The Boy and His Magic Robe." We're getting into Birdfall a little bit, and talking about serial killer psychology a lot.

Suggested talking points: the whoopee chamber, the open writing coffee table, the evil approaches, Tim Gunn's escape, an inverse time-out, ICP anthropology, wanton murder

Episode 100: WTFolklore Anthology Edition: Vol 2 Dec 27, 2016

Show notes

My Daughter's Sheeper, The One About the Bus, The Vietnamese Boy From Beyond the Stars, Switcheroonium, the Tale of Foolums Gap, Bomb-Ass Cave Kids, Mr. Bucket Sex Party

Episode 99: Robber Girl's Nightly Knife-Tickles: The Snow Queen Part II Dec 20, 2016

Show notes

We're finishing up "The Snow Queen" this week, and introducing a side character that's sure to join the pantheon of great fairy tale side characters. Everything is coming full circle. Math is key, body fluids are a go, and the writers of Frozen are increasingly wrong.

Suggested talking points: inner snow dad truth, fairy tale crossover, robber cannibals, the disease room, Bae the Reindeer, Frozen swaps, vomiting sweet fog angels, Lady Foxes Drinking Tea: the Band, reindeer Tinder, the Fairy Ur-Story
