Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales

I regret to inform you this is the end... of season one.  I'm sorry, couldn't resist that one. Mythsterhood listener Joshua Boucher joined the three of us in our first ever live episode, in which we discussed everything expected and unexpected from this year full of dragons.  It's been quite the adventure and we wouldn't have made it this far without the support of our listeners, the members of our Discord community, and especially our patrons. Thank you Andrew and Lizzie, for your continued support, and an extra special thank you to new patron Bryan Soares.

Knowing you appreciate our work means the world to us, and it's what keeps us going even when chaos reigns.

The Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales will be taking a bit of a break in between seasons, to prepare for next season, so it will be a bit longer until our next adventure, but we will be back and until then, the three of us wish you days like dragons greeting clouds.

Later Mythsters!

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.

Hello hello mythsters,

Welcome to episode 27, hosted by Jaz and Koji. Join us as we move along through South America and catch whiff of another bouquet of amazing dragons. Our usual custom episode artwork will have to wait a while, as Anike has been under the weather, but as soon as she feels a bit better, we will have another gorgeous dragon drawing for you.

Hello hello mythsters,

Welcome to episode 26, in which Anike return to the mic, and we move on towards South America and delve up some awesome dragons, as well as one with questionable dietary preferences.

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.

Hello hello, mythsters,

Opening the episode this week with a pre-emptive apology for listeners with sensitive ears. And we mean that quite literally. We had some technical issues, so this week's audio quality is not what we would like it to be, for which we'd like to apologise.

But let's move on to the episode. This is the third part of our trip across the British Isles. We hope you enjoy the ride as much as we did.

Hello hello, mythsters!

Welcome to episode 22 of the Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales, and the second of three episodes we will be spending in the British Isles.

And the inaugural episode of our new and improved sound, with a brand spanking new mic for Anike.

Hellooo, Mythsters! Welcome to episode 21 (can you believe it?!) where we travel to the British Isles and take a look at the dragons, worms, and serpents in that region. Be warned, there be dragonslayers again. But also some really awesome dragons! And a little something extra.

Without further ado, let's get into it!

Hello hello Mythsters,

Episode twenty is the first one ever to bring on a surprise guest. We had a ton of fun, and hope to be able to do this kind of episode more often.  As Jaz is learning more about audio edits flexing her audio wiz muscles, you may hear a few other surprise elements. We hope you enjoy them!  We did have a few call backs to previous episodes:

We want to celebrate the end of a year of dragons and fun together with all of you. A channel has been made for this purpose on our Mythsterhood server, and anyone who wants to join in on the festivities and be a part of the final episode of the season is welcome to come and see what's going on.

Hello hello, mythsters,

Hello hello Mythsters,

Welcome to episode 17, in which Koji and Anike begin that part of our journey that will take us deeper and deeper into Europe, and where we discover our first dragonrider. How awesome is that?

Welcome to episode 16, and the second episode we'll be spending in Africa. The Southern part of Africa, to be precise. Anike's homeland!

A full transcript will be made available as soon as we can get it finished. Now let's get this dragon on the road!

Later Mythsters!

Hello hello Mythsters,

And welcome to our first regular episode of 2O21, in which the plan is to discuss those dragons found in the Northen half of the African continent. That turned out a bit ambitious, but more dragons will be discussed in next week's blog, of course.

Hello mythsters,

And welcome to a very special episode: the first one in which all three of us are recording together. Much giggles ensued, as one might expect, and we had a lot of fun discussing a slice of dragon mythology of very special interest to Koji. 

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:

Anike and I just stopped by for a tiny little announcement:

With our last episode, where we visited Russia, The Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales has hit the halfway point in its first season!

Can you believe it? Because we sure can't.

Koji, Anike, and I wanted to celebrate this with a special episode in which the three us us have a chat and talk about what we've learned and how we look back on the last six or so months.

First of all, we are overjoyed to report that Anike's wayward arachnid has safely returned home!
Secondly, we're in Russia, baby!

Hello, mythsters far and wide!  Anike and I were super excited to dig into this second part of our Middle Eastern trip, and we do hope you enjoy it. The outtakes at the end of the episode are a clear testament to the degree of braindeadness with which I undertook the recording of this episode, but we still had tons of fun and giggles. (as we always do).

But now, without further ado, let's get cracking!

Hello hello, and welcome to milestone episode 10. Double digits!

Hello Mythsters!

We made it to Central Asia, even though we suffered a few days' delay. This time, it is Jaz and Koji behind the microphones, as Anike is feeling a bit under the weather. We hope she feels better soon, but in the mean time, let's give Koji a warm mythster welcome for her podcast debut!

So, after many times hinting at all the myths with naga at their roots, we've finally made it to the birthplace of this illustrious creature: India!

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

It's so good to be back with our next episode, where we delve into the origin of Chinese dragons, and some of the creation myths from Chinese folklore.

As promised in the episode, here is the link to the Fabulous Folklore's dragon episode.

And we are back, with episode 6 of Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales. We'll continue where we left off in episode 5, as South East Asia was note quite bite-sized enough to fit into a single episode. But mythsters, it was worth the wait. This time around, we meet more awesome dragons and learn of their amazing tales. Which was your favourite?

As always, a full transcript is available if you scroll down and next week, a complementary blog post will follow, featuring even more awe-inspiring dragons.

Welcome to episode 3 of Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales. This month, we hopped over to Japan. A land steeped in myth, folklore, magic, and dragons. A full transcript is available on our website and next week, we'll have a complementary blog post for you as well, featuring even more awesome dragons.

Hello fellow travellers! Care to join us on a journey of exploration? We'll be looking at myths across the world, with a focus on dragons in this first season.

The first episodes will be airing in ten days, on the summer solstice, so stay tuned!
