Episode 436: Bedtime Stories For Sleep Paralysis Demons Jan 07, 2025

Show notes

This week on WTFolklore, to make up for missing you on Christmas Eve, and to kick off 2025 in style, we're in for a "Rootabaganing". In layman's terms, that means we're reading both How Five Rusty Rats Helped Find a New Village and The Potato-Faced Blind Man Who Lost the Diamond Rabbit on his Gold Accordion, two stories from the...unique mind of Carl Sandburg.

Suggested talking points: The Only Place We're Going Is The Ground, The Audiobook Version of Vegetables, The Coward's Metaphor, Existentialism Doesn't Have an Age, Dangerously Close to Kingdom Hearts, Begrudging Gratitude
