We're both under the weather this week, so we are releasing the segment we did as part of Blood on the Rocks' WWI Armistice Day Megasode (which was really great and you can listen to it here: https://murder.ly/blood-on-the-rocks/specialfirst-world-war-centenary-megasode/). You may have already listened to it, but it has never been released on this feed and it's pretty interesting! We'll be back next week with something awesome! We love you!

Have you been nice or naughty this year? Well if it was the latter, you probably had a visit from this week's creature, Krampus, on December 5th. This dark and shaggy goat-demon-man with horns, fangs, and an extremely long tongue carries a bundle of birch sticks to beat bad kids (and sometimes adults) and a sack to carry them back to Hel with him for the next year.

Join us for our second "Modern Folklore" episode! We narrate 3 stories as we delve into the world of No Sleeps and Creepypastas, which are the kinds of tales that folklore stems from.

We hope you enjoy! Send anything you've written and would like to be considered for narration to modern@folkloreontherocks.com!

They are "Creation Story", "Emu and The Jabiru", "The Bunyip and the Swan", and "Tiddalick the Frog", and can be found at http://dreamtime.net.au/ and www.nla.gov.au/exhibitions/bunyips  Cocktail of the Week: 19 Crimes, The Banished Promo is from Pop Culture Mythology We are giving away FREE STICKERS!
