From this week's Episode 117 "Acts of God - Deadly Debris, Solar Storms, and a Lethal Lake" featuring friend of the pod Spenser Starke A map of Los Angeles compared to the blast radius of the Tunguska Event

This week, Rowan Hall is taking us through the history of werewolves. We’ll discuss the relationship between this myth and the witch trials. We’ll also explore some lycanthropic modern medicine and teach you how to defend yourself should you ever encounter a werewolf.

This week, the discussion is getting pointed (that's a triangle joke). Rowan Hall and Tracey H are discussing ghost ships, ocean farts, and they're also reading the transcript of a missing military training flight with sound effects and ✨drama✨

This week @therowanhall & Tracey H continue the discussion of the Bermuda Triangle. Topics include time travel, parallel universes, Atlantis, UFOs, methane gas, chronic illnesses, and T.S. Eliot. (What can we say? Sometimes the episode sparks a variety of conversations.)

The Red String of Fate is famous online, but where does this myth come from? Join us for Ep 121, where we learn more about Chinese mythology, Yue Lao (the god of love and marriage), and Tu’er Shen (the patron of homosexual love between men as far back as the 17th century).

In Episode 122, Tracey H and Rowan Hall continue their conversation examining stories about the threads of fate. This week's topic is the Three Fates of Ancient Greek Mythology: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. Click the Link in Bio to Listen!

No new episode this week, but we will be back on the 26th! Our hosts are taking a little time for a winter break. We'll see you soon, okay?

Due to a double whammy of scheduling issues and our next episode (once again) growing bigger than we intended, we are extending our break. We're taking more time off in order to release an episode that we are proud of. 🖤 The next episode will be coming soon, but not his week.

This week, Rowan presents the mythologies of goblins from around the world. We also learn about the ways goblins have been used as harmful antisemitic tropes and discuss other symbols from religion and folklore that have been used to influence public perception.

Hey friends! Episode 125 will be our last before the Willing & Fable podcast goes on hiatus. We have lots of work in store, and we wouldn't be where we are without you. Thank you for all your support on this wild, mythological journey. We'll see you soon, okay?

For the 125th episode, Rowan and Tracey go all the way back to the beginning and ask: what is mythology? They discuss the history and science behind storytelling, the chemical effects of religion on the brain, and whether or not trees have their own versions of folklore.
