So on episode 147 I want to know if the Ashon man (spelling!) like does he stink while he follows you around your house?

2023-06-22 18:03:24 +0000 UTCI just listened to the Mermaid episode and the story of Melcenaro (I think was the name: the girl whose mom was fairy and dad was human and then she turned into dragon) resembles Disney “Maleficent” a lot to me. Especially the live action Angelina Jolie movies. Disney taking inspiration from every crevice to get “the little mermaid” and to me “maleficent”

2023-06-07 21:01:40 +0000 UTCA little late, but I wanted to throw in my two cents! First, I love all the folklore incorporated into Aly's episodes this month, as it really provided a deeper look into topics I had a basic understanding of. I even was telling my dad about Baba Yaga after listening to that episode because it was so interesting. I tried to tell my grandma about selkies, but she didn't care lmao. Plus, your different reading voices are so fun, Aly! Of course, Nat's commentary is always so entertaining! I also really enjoyed learning about the blacked-out zones on Google, because I've never actually heard of that phenomenon. I appreciated the Swiftie discourse as I've gotten back into her music recently so catching up on all the drama has been a ride for me, too lol. Great job to both of you gals this month!

2023-06-07 20:59:11 +0000 UTCI always love listener stories. I loved the mermaid and baba yaga episodes because it’s like what Aly said - we know them but we also don’t know a whole lot about them. I hope to see more folklore-inspired eps from different countries

2023-06-05 22:13:01 +0000 UTCI love all y’all’s topics but I have to say the listener stories hold a special place in my heart! Always fantastic banter in those episodes and great stories from the haunties

2023-06-03 11:36:04 +0000 UTCDude the mermaid episode where Nat starts talking about how she feels like she just got fucked for 2 hours straight had me cracking THE FUCK UP. It was so accurate to 1) how the episode made me feel and 2) how a 2 hour long fuck sesh makes you feel. Here’s to getting our backs blown out, and for many more blow outs yet to cum 🍻

2023-06-02 20:41:45 +0000 UTCThe Google black zones. Remember it was just a couple of years ago when our government announced/admitted that aliens are real. To me, those black out zones are areas that have *yet* to be admitted to. Also, I have a co-worker visint from China, and there Google is banned. It makes me wonder what they use for transportation. Reminds me that, while "google is everything," it's still an American company, and there are limitations to what we can see. And Baba Yaga? Loved it too. Went deep on that one. Maybe a little too deep. :)

2023-06-02 11:15:02 +0000 UTCI'm really not sure which one was even my favorite this month, they were all so good! All the Russian stuff, especially the russalki, reminded me of a book called Deathless, which I adored, and now want to read again. The listener stories this episode really took the cake, though. Tbh I think I've already blocked some of them out.

2023-06-02 03:25:40 +0000 UTCOk so on the topic of time slips and stuff -- I have accidentally fell down lots of rabbit holes of weird stories. You need to look into the Dodleston Messages!!

2023-06-02 03:22:37 +0000 UTCThe Oz listener time slip, doppelganger, parallel universe story. Was out on the golf course mowing on a beautiful super sunny 77°F/25°C and legit had goosebumps and chills. There was no wind.
