85B-Slavic Folklore: Hold on to Your Hat

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode
The conclusion to the dwarf with the long beard, a story about a dwarf. And a long beard. And entering the ear canals of magic horses for fun and profit. We'll see the epic struggle between brothers come to an end, as well as a powerful argument in favor of facial hair. 

The creature this time is big, warm cat named Big Ears! He has Big Ears! And an army of demonic cats to do his will!
