60A-Beowulf: I'm Kind of a Big Deal

You know the story of Beowulf. I don't need to do this. But really, there's mead. There's Grendel. There are mead-fueled fights with Grendel. It's just a fun, (kind of) light re-telling of the classic story, minus all the yelling, Angelina Jolie, and eye explosions of the 2007 movie. The creature this week is why you have that perpetual sun burn. And vampire fingers. --------------------------- Career Day this week: <a href="http://itunes.careerdayshow.com">http://itunes.careerdayshow.com</a> or just <a href="http://careerdayshow.com">http://careerdayshow.com</a> Blue Apron: <a href="http://www.blueapron.com/legends">http://www.blueapron.com/legends</a> MVMT watches: <a href="http://www.MVMTwatches.com/myths">http://www.MVMTwatches.com/myths</a> --------------------------- Music: "The Telling" by Blue Dot Sessions "The Last Whale" by Jelsonic "Stipple" by Blue Dot Sessions "Our Quiet Company" by Blue Dot Sessions "Forecasting" by Podington Bear "Dunes" by Podington Bear "Coronea" by Blue Dot Sessions "Dark Sanctum (Boss Fight)" by Visager "Title Theme" by Visager<p><a href="https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership">Support the show: https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership</a></p>

Jason Weiser and Carissa Weiser tell stories from myths, legends, and folklore that have shaped cultures throughout history. Some, like the stories of Aladdin, King Arthur, and Hercules are stories you think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are stories you might not have heard, but really should. All the stories are sourced from world folklore, but retold for modern ears. These are stories of wizards, knights, Vikings, dragons, princesses, and kings from the time when the world beyond the map was a dangerous and wonderful place.
