FML/Folklore, Myth and Legend
Join hosts Sam White and Toby Young as they dive headfirst into the weird, wonderful, and downright unhinged world of folklore, myth, and legend.
Each week, Sam and Toby bring you stories that’ll have you hooked, howling, and maybe even questioning reality as they explore occult murders, obscure traditions, and monsters from the dark corners of the world — both real and imagined.
If you’re up for a wild ride through myths and mysteries, tune in to FML for bones, groans, and standing stones.
Just don’t forget your torch... and maybe a pinch of salt.

For the thrilling finale of Folklore, Myth, and Legend Season 1, Sam and Toby take on the ultimate creatures of the night: vampires.
From their ancient beginnings to the Norse terror of the Draugr, the boys trace the bloodline of these legendary fiends. They’ll resurrect forgotten heroes like Polidori, the overlooked author of the first modern vampire, and dive into the enduring legacy of Dracula himself.
With Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu just around the corner, it felt like the perfect way to end the series. Expect tips on hunting vampires (if you’re brave enough), the best ways to keep them away, and the unravelling of why these legends just won’t die.
Join us wherever you get your podcasts for the final episode of Season 1—and don’t forget your garlic. It’s been a bloody good ride.
