Hey Jason! I honestly think that this is a great podcast. I like how you try to make sense of every story, and that you put a creature of the week in every episode. Don’t really love the emojis in the latest episodes though; it just doesn’t seem authentic when you put that many emojis. I also like how all the ads are at the end of the episode, and that the (not very common) ads that are in the middle of the show are read by you, and are very quick and heartfelt. I love learning about new mythological creatures, and then turning around and creeping out my friends and family with (mostly weird) weird and gruesome facts about said creatures. I also like how, when it comes to sexist stories from the Middle Ages where people sold their daughters to husbands, you are wonderfully neutral, and you try to express that people were, frankly, horrible to women in general, which is stupid. God created men and women to be equals. I like learning about new myths, and it is great. Keep up the good work!! I know this is about 400 episodes too late, but in episode 67A, you asked why ill-bred was a really bad insult. Well, in medieval times, if someone called you ill-bred, they mean that you are 1: Born of dirty peasants and/or vagabonds. 2: Your parents are not married, and/or one is noble and the other is a peasant. 3: You don’t have any sort of honor(remember people were very big on honor in this time period). 4: You’re just a horrible person. Or 5: A combination of all three.

This podcast is great to listen to anytime. I like that you guys put jokes into it, while still staying mostly true to the original content, I also really appreciate that it’s not explicit. 😋

Ive been listening to this podcast for years on/ off (short attention span ) and omggg !!!! Ep 115 has me ON THE FLOOR!!! And in general , the way you narrate everything , and make it so casual like you’re a good friend - it makes the storytelling much more enjoyable and entertaining and easier to retain !!I love the 4th wall breaking too !! I love that you dive into sooo many cultures within mythology and folklore , ive learned so much from your podcast!! Ive recommended this podcast to people at work and college, and i always get so excited when i talk about it!!!! Ive always liked mythology / folklore , so this is perfect !!! Thank you so much for everything you do !!! 🖤🖤

Such great stories! Thank you. 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 Heheheh

I’ve been listening to this podcast for about four years now it is my go to. It is hands-down, the best one! I even re-listen to the ones that I’ve heard before.

I love all the French ones and Pretty Pretty Pirate! I also like Clever Girl (episode 156). Thanks for all the work that you all have put into it. Amazing jokes and storytelling! I tell these stories to my friends, and they love it! Also, I did the math. 11 trumpeter swans could carry 275 pounds of more.

The man tells a good story. I can see how some could be annoyed at times by his commentary while retelling these ancient stories but it’s not as if he changes them and I believe by doing so he’s breathing fresh life into them. It’s personally rekindled my interest in some of these older stories which I have gone and reread or read for the first time myself. He’s also keeping these stories alive by doing this and that alone is admirable. This podcast is gold. Stay gold, pony boy

This podcast is really great It’s helped me get through some gender dysphoria filled nights and is really entertaining (also no asmr noises which is good cause I hate those noises)

I love this podcast and I’m only 13. I already really liked mythology before I found out about this podcast and it made me like mythology, even more of which I didn’t know was possible. I can’t wait for more episodes. Also I like the 2parters. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MYTHS AND LEGENDS🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 ps people do say glow up

Hi from 300CE this is a great podcast and it should be a 10⭐️ review but I can do 5 ⭐️ ❤️🏳️‍🌈❤️🐸❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m just a kid and this podcast isn’t for kids.But my parents allowed me to listen to it so I guess it’s ok.Anyway……………………….HOW COULD THIS PODCAST POSSIBLY GET ANY BETTER!!!!!!!!??????? I ABSOLUTELY love the funny and entertaining adventures that every episode holds!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️…ok I’ll stop using emojis. But I’m so happy to support you,your wife your podcast.And little Pizza!!!(You have more cats right?)Please continue making more hilarious adventures!☺️

I love your podcast so much!!!!!! Please make more Native American episodes. Also more monkey king. Sun Wukong forever!

I wrote a mean comment because part 2 of a series was subscriber only, and within minutes is was changed so everyone could listen. The team for this podcast is awesome. It is always a treat when a new episode comes out and I’m very happy I get to enjoy this episode as well as the other I have enjoyed in the past. Thank you all <3

All there is to say

So good I love listening to them when i sleep, on walks, and everywhere

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to "Mulan: A Likely Hero" episode. The storytelling was engaging, and the episode was well researched. The host's narrative style brought Mulan's tale to life, making it a captivating!! Always loved Mulan but the storytelling shed a whole new light and love on her ❤️❤️

I like it a lot

I get so paranoid, but this show doesn’t make me paranoid

I listen to this pretty much ever day lol, Wednesdays being my ‘me-time’ for my date with the new episode lol. Your growth is awe inspiring and I never tire of your telling, especially my favorites: 1001 Nights as well as the Greek collection, Journey to the West & The tale of Jaya/Vijaya. You and your wife are amazing. Your work has been a companion to me for almost a decade now and I’m so grateful you do what you do - THANK YOU 💛

Myths and Legends is my favorite podcast! It’s the one that ALL OTHER PODCASTS are measured against, so other podcasts should take note! Also, if you guys ever want to bring back Fictional (pretty please, I know it’s gotta be a lot of work!), I’d totally be on board! Thank you for sharing such great content and being consistently awesome!

Just discovered this channel and really enjoyed it as I started from the earliest, then an ad or two appeared. Then another. And another. And even though I found the host often talks too fast and the bits of sarcastic asides and references to modern tech a bit irritating, the gist was interesting and entertaining. But soon the additional ads peppered throughout got to be way too obnoxious, often louder than the podcast itself, sometimes esp grating when a loud woman’s voice as opposed to the male host. Unsubbed and stopped listening. Never thought I’d find something even more money-grubbing than youtube…

love this podcast! could you do a podcast episode about the silt-mouthed woman: Kuchisake-Onna from Japanese folklore

Thank you…these are fun bedtime stories for me. I find myself repeat playing the Monkey King episodes over and over just to remember all the events. I think I’d listen to all remaining XX chapters if you do them :)

If u give this show anything below a 5 star review u are wrong don’t be evil give it a 5 star -PS let’s get to only five stars by the end of 2024

Over the past 7 years I’ve had 4 jobs, all manual labor. Trash truck hopper, Sheetrock hanger, General Handyman, and now I have a landscaping business. Throughout that time I’ve listened to this podcast while at work, also Fictional and Scoundrels, but it his one the most at least 8 times start to finish. I don’t think I would have been able to deal with the monotony without the lightly informative yet humorous style of Jason’s storytelling. I am truly appreciative for this podcast. Being able to absorb these significant to jovial tales from times of yore not only connect us to our past but show us how time may change but people really don’t. Thank you for all that you do.

The pride commercials make me want to throw up. The degrading of the man in a lot of his stories is annoying. Otherwise pretty good

UPDATE: HEY JASON, NOT SURE WHY BUT YOU NO LONGER SHOW UP WHEN I SAVE YOU ON APPLE PODCASTS. I HAVE TO TYPE IN “MYTHS AND..” TO FIND YOUR SHOW. KEEP IN MIND YOU ARE THE ONLY PODCAST I LISTEN TO AND WAIT FOR EACH WEEKS RELEASE. YOU MIGHT WANNA REACH OUT TO APPLE. This series is my all time favorite podcast to listen to. I never miss an episode. If you’re looking for something educational and entertaining at the same time this is it. Jason does a great job tying the story into where is rests historically as well as the social and political period in which each story comes- but trust me it’s not in a boring way. He has this unique ability to use modern references in a way that is his just cheesy enough to be funny, and not make you roll your eyes. I know more about Greek, Roman, Icelandic, Asian and American myths than anyone I know because of this podcast. If you like a good storytelling give it a try.

This is by far the best mythology podcast that I have ever listened to. Thank you so much Jason and Carisa for keeping this podcast safe and fun!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few years and it’s my favorite . I love the humor which is often thrown in and catches me by surprise each time. I’m a lifelong fan!!!!

This podcast is the BEST. It balances humor, modern writing, and the classics you tell. The dialogue is great, unlike another review says. It isn’t faked or forced, and matches the theme or feeling the story gives off at all times. Simply fantastic job. I hope you make it forever!

This is my go to every night. I let Jason and Carissa tell me a story before bed ☺️. I’m a subscriber and never think twice about supporting their work. Cannot recommend ENOUGH!

When I found myths and legends, I had never heard anything like it! The way Jason and Carissa use this platform to retell famous (and not so known) stories from various cultures is not only INCREDIBLY entertaining, but also insightful and well-researched. I’ve been a listener for years and can’t stop recommending it enough to friends who enjoy a good storytelling!

Very enjoyable to listen to, thanks for the lessons!

Best podcast I always and only listen to myths and legends!!!Do more Tom Thumb!

The Norse legends reeled me into this podcast show and I haven’t been able to stop listening since. This is is the perfect podcast for me when driving to work and just relaxing at home alone. I love the factual but fun writing to this show!

Right Meow is better than Piece of Cake

“See, not everyone is evil, Xuanzang clapped, and Monkey had to agree.” Unless Xuanzang communicated this idea by slapping one hand against the other, this is absolutely terrible writing. This is now how dialogue tags work, but the writers of this podcast do this all the time. They appear not to understand which verbs are associated with speaking. Characters also do not laugh, grin, or sigh their lines. If the writers would just take a refresher course on dialogue, this would be a decent show.

This podcast is seriously so good. Jason is funny and the stories are great!

Use it to sleep but not because it’s boring. I listen to it on my headphones when I travel when I color in class, etc. I’ve listened to it since the beginning I love it so much!!!😽

I have been listening to the podcast for over 4 years and it is really good and always improving. But, please bring back the old cover, and do more monkey king episodes please!

I agree with N’ate

Favorite episode so far! More strong women 🙌 Thank you!🙏

all the storys are grait an funy last year i binged all of the episodes i was not disiponted thx so much for what you do

Ambutakauuuuummmmmmm

We need myths and legends con

I work long hours during the night & this is the perfect podcast to keep me company. I look forward to every Tuesday when episodes drop. Interesting stories with incredible writing, extremely witty & funny dialogue & an awesome variety of cultures & time periods represented. Some of my favorites include the Monkey King, Norse legends & Japanese folklore. Please never stop

👌

I Love Your Podcast And I Think Your Probably One If My Fav Podcasters But, Maybe You Should Stop Sponsoring Better Help? They Are Very Anti LGBTQ+ And They Have Had Many Law Suits For Selling Patients Information To Companies And Websites. Please Put This Into Consideration, I Didn’t Go Into Full Detail About Better Help But I Hope You Stop Using The Company For Counseling! Stay Safe❤️

Mythlets assemble!!!! 🤌 chefs kiss THANK YOU JASON!!!!

Jason does a spectacular job narrating all of the folklore and fairy tales! Easy to listen to and understand. I also appreciate his opinion on hidden meanings in said folklore and fairy tale stories! Great job guys!
