28. Dragons of the African Diaspora

Hello Mythsters,

And welcome to the last official episode of our first season. It has been quite the adventure, and we're a bit sad to see it come to an end. But we'll be back with a new season. This is what we console ourselves with (somewhat) as we take a look at our last bouquet of dragons.

Want to talk dragons while we prepare for season two? Come find us on our Discord Server at https://discord.com/invite/G3PRfrU, Come and find @mythsterhood on Twitter, or shoot us an email at mythsterhood@gmail.com.

With Anike being sick and life being a bit hectic for Koji and Jaz, we're running behind with the podcast transcripts, but this too will be made available on our website Mythsterhood.com as soon as we can get it done.

25. Dragons of North America, Part II

Hello hello, Mythsters,

Jaz is back, and together with Koji, she dives into the second part of our journey through North America. And they also announce their plans for the end of season 1, and what the Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales could do during our between-seasons break. Jaz announces a new project she's been working on as well.

Links mentioned:

But all this housekeeping aside, the episode was both fun and bittersweet as it means the end of season one is drawing ever nearer. It's been such an adventure, and we've been glad to have you all with us.

And before we get too sentimental, let's have some dragons! As always, a full transcript of the episode will be made available at mythsterhood.com as soon as we can finish it.

Later mythsters!

13. Dragons of Egypt

13. Dragons of Egypt

Hello, Mythsters, and welcome to the first episode of the second half of this season. We're only two weeks away from celebrating our six month anniversary of whispering in your ears every fortnight.

This week, we visited sunny Egypt.

As promised, we have, of course, some links for you:

  • Come and visit us in our Discord Community, for sneak previews of each episode's art, as well as the chance to add your two cents for our celebratory bonus episode.
  • And for our side quest, some more information about the mysterious Hatshepsut: The Exploress podcast, a femcentric history podcast and a regular on Jaz's podcatcher, did a two part episode on women who ruled Egypt. The resources list is also fairly extensive and absolutely worth a browse.

And, as always, a full transcript will be made available on our website.

But without further ado, we'll let you get on with the podcast and meet today's dragons!

As promised in the episode, here are the links we mentioned:

  • Jaz's poem Dragon's Lament
  • Hybrid Fiction, issue six, containing Skin Deep, also by Jaz
  • and of course, the link to the Mythsterhood Discord server, where you'll get a chance to help us decide on next season's topic, as well as sneak peeks at new artwork by Anike, among other things! There may, or may not, be the occasional dragon meme.

Of course, a full transcript of the episode will, as always, be made available on our website, Mythsterhood.com.

4 and a half: What About the Kappa?

4 and a half: What About the Kappa?

Hello hello mythsters. Today is a very sad day. Anike hasn’t been feeling well all week and will not be able to record with me.  That’s right. You're stuck with me. Your ears are at my mercy. I shall try to behave, but I can make no promises, of course.

Since Anike didn’t want to miss out on all the fun we’ll be having in South East Asia, we agreed that I would do a bit of a bonus episode for you instead.

If you joined us on our Japanese excursion, you may remember us mentioning the kappa. Now, since kappa are not actually dragons, we didn’t delve deeper in the episode, but we did do a side quest in the form of a Patreon exclusive post. Today, you get the audio version. Our way of apologising for the delay in our travels to South East Asia.

As usual, a full transcript will be made available at www.Mythsterhood.com.
