254-Spanish Folklore: Ready or Not

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode

A story from Spanish folklore of three brothers, a crafting competition, a smelly Trojan parrot, and a lesson that it's never too late to start on the Hero's Journey. I mean, you might end up in jail, but it's still inspiring?

The creature this week is the Gohonga, a creature that will take your child, educate them, and return them as a forty-year-old
