Description

Jason Weiser tells 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.

The storytelling is heartwarming

The way the stories are told, perfect combination of fun and deep thoughts. Jason addresses the human psychology and how the emotions work in each of the stories. And maybe that’s the reason of all the myths and legends, they tell how humans interact, in their truest form. I love the stories. Just awesome.

Love your Podcast

I recently started to listen to your podcast on Spotify and I think that it’s safe to say that I am hooked . I usually don’t listen to podcasts, but I think I am forced to make an exception for a podcast so awesome. Also, your sarcastic voice modulations, and personal comments are just awesome and make it a more engaging experience for me. So thanks a lot

Best mythology podcast ever!

This is my most favourite podcast ever!
Jason’s narration got me hooked to podcasts and to mythology in general.Having been listening to this for a couple of years now, I have even introduced a few friends to this and they love it too.
The content is well-researched, quite informative and presented in an unbiased way, while also being fun. It brings a smile to my face every time I listen to one.
Kudos Jason!

Keep it up!

I absolutely love this podcast and all the stories you narrate! Your narrative style is amazing and even the music fits your theme for the episode.
Pleasure I found this. I’ve been listening to you since about 2017.
P.S. - Can you do kind of a bonus(extra) episode every month?
Thanks!

I’m hooked

For a guy who is just narrating old stories and myths, he is too damn good. I don’t know what it is about his voice but he is a natural at this. If his voice doesn’t do it for you, the stories that he tells will take you in without a doubt. I would recommend everyone to give this podcast a shot.

A brilliant show with excellent narration

Jason is amazing. He picks up the best of stories from folklore and puts his unique spin on them. Truly a master of his art.
Loved the Medusa episode.
Really wish he’d look up some Indian folklore as well. There’s some great stuff there. Cheers!

Great Podcast! A buffet!!!

An wonderful set of podcasts, delightedly narrated and accompanied by soothing background score!
Hope he does not decide to squander this with “Commercial Interests”.

Informative and Fun

For those interested in... you know... myths and legends, this podcast will not disappoint. I love the research that Jason and team put into the subject of the week. I love, even more, the way the story is told, with a perfect mix of great story telling and dry humour that makes things really fun to listen to on my daily office commute. Thank you!

Love it..But need more variety

Have listened to all episodes. But there are so many mythologies that have not been touched till now. For example the Hindu mythology or Tales from Buddhism and Taoism.

Informative and Brilliantly Conceived!

This podcast will always be one of the best Podcasts that I have ever heard. History is not only my passion but also profession. As IGCSE History teacher, being critical of any new information comes with the territory, but so far with Jason's podcast, there are only praises that I can shower. It is indeed difficult to trace legends and myths as there can be countless sources of information without even one being concrete. They can count from oral history to first hand exaggerated accounts. Considering all this, Jason has done a fabulous job in not only tracing the origin of stories but also being very articulate in narration. I look forward to hearing Indian Myths and Legends :)

Brilliant podast and awesome narration

Jason, takes us through various stories from medieval mythology and lore, very neatly narrated (soothing I must add) and when you listen to him narrate you do realize that he has done a thorough research on the subject or story.
What I love the most is the cynical comments he passes, on the absurd arc & plots these tales take as they progresses.
The absolute best part is the addition of a new mythological creature towards the end of the podcast, very interesting. With an appropriate music that hits you in between a beat in the story and a brief pause by Jason, leaves us in state where we are really anticipating the next arc.
The podcast seems to have a strange way of taking me into these enigmatic lands and I take a while to brush it off.
I really enjoy listening to these stories and I wish there was more.
Highly recommend it.

Absolutely amazing

I've got a massive love for History, Legends and Mythology and Jason really does an amazing job to sift through all the existing versions of it and tell you the ancient stories in a clear casual way. You never feel overwhelmed with the stories (perhaps a little with the names, looking at you Volsungs!) but he keeps the pace quick and interlaces some great music to bring you back into the story at key moments.
Definitely one of the best podcasts I've heard, and I'm glad I found it!
