196-Reynard the Fox: Chaotic Good

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode

A reboot, of sorts, of Reynard the Fox, everyone's favorite brutal, amoral trickster. I found a much older, much more nuanced version of the fox's stories. Today, we meet his father, get an origin story, and see him trying to make things right in a society run by predators...or is he working a long con to eat all the animals in his charge? With Reynard, we never really know.


The creature this week is the Talasam, who will very politely ask you for a human sacrifice.
