Summarizing and reviewing folktales from all across the world and all over history, we're just a couple of best friends geeking out together. We cover Greek mythology, Brazilian folklore, Indonesian oral stories, Norse tales, and many other types of urban legends.

Julianna and Sabryna make their love of Will Smith known as they discuss Men in Black and Independence Day. These are survivor stories and alien debates galore. From abductions to probing, these are some close, and some decidedly not so close, encounters of the third kind!

Learn about how every culture has either a good or a bad version of dragons and why water snakes are so prevalent in Asia but not in Europe. And shout out to Matt for the suggestion!

Greek Week: Tokyo Olympics 2021
In honor of the Olympics, we are doing some stories about the Olympics in Greek mythology- and also some fun facts! Julianna gushes over the new Olympic sports (i.e. skateboarding, karate & surfing) and attempts to lead the episode herself as Sabryna takes a break. Also did you know that Apollo was good at… everything? The origins of the Olympics are definitely not as straightforward as they seem.
