About this episode
Josh and Kris roll the dice to create bizarre, twisted versions of classic folklore characters! Hear our takes on a "gross" Selkie that violently tears its way out of its seal form, the melancholic, depressed Santa Claus (inspired by Neil Gaiman) who hates his job, a queer-coded, sequined Baba Yaga with chicken-feet leggings, and Anansi the trickster god as a charmingly fat, retired, domestic dad (like a mystical Nobody). Plus, a detour into the real-life history of the Pied Piper of Hamelin!
