Slight issue on my end that led to the member feed not updating until this morning. Sorry about that. If you refresh you should see the ad-free episode 382.
Anyone else having this problem where the episode stops randomly and won't restart? Seems to be limited to Apple Podcasts and episode 378 (but also possibly the most recent episode).
I accidentally repeated a story this week! Oops! It was the second one.
If you downloaded it within the first twelve hours, you can re-download for a new second story.
And yes, this was just a plan to juice those download numbers and not embarrassing and distressing and leading to me losing a whole day of work finding/writing/recording/editing/re-uploading a new story. You got me.
I would love to never use Twitter (refuse to call it X) again, so if anyone can help me with the pronunciation of the name “Snati”, apparently a common name for a dog in Iceland, I would be super grateful.
Oh no. I listened to "Monster Mash" too many times for a bit on this episode and now I kind of like it. What have I become?
If you're not seeing the latest episode in your M&L feed, I *think* I fixed it. Refresh and it should update as normal.
If that doesn't work, please resubscribe/re-follow.
If *that* doesn't work, please let me know so I can figure out which feed isn't redirecting.
Thanks!

Think you can beat fate? When Subramanya learned that his two siblings had a terrible destiny, he started on a decades-long quest to free them from their future. Will he be one of the first in folklore to win against destiny?
A very helpful listener translated the passages from French re: the kid's foot doorbell from episode 316. It means, literally, deer's foot.
It makes about the same amount of sense, which is to say, almost none.
