Welcome back to the latest episode of More Than Myths. We’re headed to Los Angeles this week to discuss the extremely dark history of the Cecil Hotel. We absolutely will not be visiting this location. Ever. (TW: Self harm, suicide, death, serial killers) Then Hailie tells the Twitter story of Dear David. It’s a ghost story that is best if you follow along with - the pictures make it 100% worse.

Welcome to Season Two! This season we're going to be doing a deep dive into the story of Troy. It is going to cover the entirety of season two and we'll be releasing an episode, especially about Troy once a month. For our first episode, we're going way back to before Troy was even founded to learn about how it came to be and all about the people that were cursed, and how it doomed the city from the start.

Hey Curious Friends! Uncle B is back in the More Than Myths house and we are starting the grand tale of Ragnarok. In this episode we are going to talk about Loki's three children (the less popular ones) and what was done to them to make Loki go all Gossip Girl on the Gods. This uncomfortable dinner party is filled with non-stop insults, family drama and infidelity that it would put most soap operas to shame. You don't want to miss this weeks episode, grab a drink and your popcorn for this one.

Welcome back, curious friends! We're so glad you're here. Corrine is giving us our first dip into Japanese folktales and she has so much interesting information on yokai. She tells us all about some creatures that really love cucumbers, women with stretchy necks, as well as a gentle reminder to spring clean. Then we're wrapping up the story of the amazing lives of Betty & Barney Hill. Hailie goes into what hypnosis is and what the Hills were up to after their sessions with Dr. Simons. We should have grabbed some tissues, but we're giving you the warning in advance.

Welcome back Curious Friends! We are getting Part 2 of Thor to you sooner than planned but we hope you enjoy the adventures of the God of Thunder! Today Uncle B talks us through two tales. First, what will Thor do to get his hammer back? Dress in drag? You betcha! Then when you are hosting a party but have no ale, you better go get the magic cauldron that brews it for you from your Jötunn pal down the street, but you know there will be some challenges to overcome to get it, right?

This week enjoy some titbits of your hosts and their various hi-jinks while trying to record a decent show. Thank you as always for your continued support. Cheers!

Welcome to another Myth-Stakes episode, where we attempt to set the record straight. We only have a few small housecleaning topics to take care of this time, including some aliens over Stonehenge, more interesting facts about the number 13, and how does $130,000 stack up against it’s value in the early 1900’s?

Grab a coffee or a cocktail...or both and join us! Hailie talks to us this week about a world-famous circle of stones and the possibility of it being constructed by aliens or magicians! Then, Corrine, has us counting the number of letters in our name, questioning why certain floors in buildings aren't just built and blocked off, and we all come to a mutual understanding that it is indeed lucky to have a baker's dozen of cookies or muffins!

Welcome to our second Myth-stakes Episode! We are here to set the record straight and come clean, kind of like Brunhild and Gudrun when they go and wash their hair, but a lot less petty. We’ve got some updated information we found from Episodes Six to Ten. We’ve also got new information about Corrine’s Halloween past, and we get to experience Corrines excitement about Hailie setting the record straight about what really happened between Horus & Seth.

Welcome to our Norse Corner with Corrine’s Uncle Brandon. He's here to set us on the right path of knowing whose who amoung the Aesir Gods as well as the Vanir Gods in Norse mythology. He tells us who Loki’s kids were including a horse with eight legs we like to call spider-foal, about a wall that ended up being built for free, and some really cool gifts that two brothers made for the gods, all while fighting off a massive fly.

Have we got a doozy for you! Corrine decided to bring us not one, not two, but three little monsters that can rip a tree up from the roots, have too many heads, and like to take back what they think is theirs, and then Hailie takes us back to Episode Three to give us more detailed information about a subject that we can't actually say out loud because we don't want to draw their attention.

We hope you had a full breakfast because Corrine has a tale of a sacred grove, the goddess of hunger and the revenge she brought to a king on behalf of her counterpart. Hailie follows it up with one of the oldest romantic tragedies we know, a story of a party with a weird drinking game, betrayal and the revenge of a son against his uncle.

In this weeks episode, Hailie flies in with some interesting and disturbing facts about women who were considered the goddess of life, death, battle, and magic; then Corrine reels us back in with her favorite feel-good movie where her topic plays a minor part, but she really constructs a great picture for us about some people we just can't see.

If we could turn back time...we'd go back to Episodes One thru Five and correct our wrong sayings and doings! We settle it once and for all just how smart lemurs are and if there was actually an impact crater where the lost civilization of Lemuria was said to be! We've also got some extra spooky tid-bits about Black Dogs as well as the subject we'll never talk about again - shadow people. Blech.

We adore all things Halloween. Today we get into the guts of some pumpkins and Halloween and learn about the importance of Samhain bonfires, why the colors black and orange are associated with October 31, and just how much Americans love dressing up their animals for the holiday. Happy Halloween!

Hold onto your butts...and your heads! This one's a doozy! Corrine puts us through the paces with a scary horseman and a classic tale regarding a certain broken hearted school teacher whose love interest tells him no and breaks his heart, and Hailie unearths a tale about a canary, a dagger made of meteorite, and a curse from ancient Egypt that seems to get stronger the more it’s meddled with.

Is it true that a vampire won't bother you if you have garlic breath? Do vampires pay taxes? Are energy vampires, like our beloved Colin Robinson, out there?
