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.

episode 353: Irish folklore: Beggars Belief
The story of a storyteller who can't think of a story to tell, and how a stranger solves that problem by getting him fired and taking him on wacky adventures with too many beheadings.
The creature is the Lou Carcolh. Brace yourself, snail links are coming.
Snails:
I don't know if this is a good price for snails: https://myths.link/snails
No idea why I find this video of a snail eating a cucumber so unnerving, but here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifjpgt26osY
Here's one eating a strawberry. I hate this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhXJxUgY46Q
