309-Scandinavian Folklore: The Enemy of ...

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode
This week, there are three stories of people bargaining: with the devil, with that angry lady who owns too many cats, and with...rocks, and we'll see that the person you need...might be the one you least suspect. 

The creature this week is a forest creature who won't lope lazily past your out-of-focus camera...because he'll fly past. He's Batsquatch!
