| 1/22/25 | Who's Who and Which Is Which? | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! We received a letter from Megaera, who wasn't at all pleased by Hermes's shenanigans last time. Perhaps I should have taken offense to my basso profundo being cloned, but he did finally keep his promise by retelling The North Wind and the Sun in an incredibly clever way. His father Zeus wasn't quite as pleased when he heard that Hermes had cloned his voice and given him the role of the North Wind. To say he'd been in a torpor was the und... | 3m 58s | ||||||
| 1/4/25 |  Story Sunday - Hermes Retells The North Wind and the Sun, or How Fireside Folklore with Hades Was Born | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! We hope you've been enjoying your holidays with ambrosia, nectar, and divine comedy, and 2025 has treated you well. I've been keeping myself busy, spending time with my queen and contemplating new ways to make Tartarus as terrifying as it deserves to be! On this Story Sunday, we present to you a long overdue retelling of The North Wind and the Sun which my nephew Hermes was supposed to have completed last summer. Time on the divine plane... | 16m 10s | ||||||
| 11/28/24 | PSA: Hades On Mortal Gratitude and Folly; A Nod to Thanksgiving and a Warning Against Phishing Scams | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! In this completely unplanned interlude (whose true purpose will become clear shortly), I wish to take a moment to express my gratitude to the patrons of this podcast—those loyal listeners who gather by the fireside to hear the stories of old. Your time and dedication mean more to me than any mortal treasure ever could. It is your continued presence that motivates me to unearth tales from all corners of the globe and strive to make this t... | 2m 20s | ||||||
| 11/21/24 |  The Golden Pail, S2E6 of Fireside Folklore with Hades | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! After many months, outtakes, and lost paperwork, we've done it! Here is the long-awaited episode, The Golden Pail, a tale from Palestine, adapted from Ibrahim Muhawi's collection of Palestinian folklore, Speak Bird, Speak Again. In this fairy tale, a prince must go on quest after quest, as the asks become outrageously more preposterous until the day of reckoning comes for a king's unscrupulous vizier. Along the way, you'll hear Hestia re... | 1h 04m 03s | ||||||
| 11/19/24 | Whoopsie Wednesday: Flames of Fortune | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! As is customary for Whoopsie Wednesday, (a segment I still question the sanity of), I present to you a song that didn't make it into the final take of The Golden Pail. Nevertheless, Persephone seemed to think that it was a work worthy of a swoon. So, against my better judgment, (because she really should be saying this about my singing instead of our nephew, Hephaestus's), I'll allow this contentious piece to grace my feed as though... | 3m 25s | ||||||
| 11/18/24 |  PSA: The Release of the Golden Pail | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! My husband is finally done with that long-awaited Golden Pail. Stay tuned because it will be released on Friday, November 22. In the meantime, I'll be sharing a song for Whoopsie Wednesday which won't be featured in the actual program. I loved it though and had to immortalize it here! Just don't tell Hephaestus or my husband though, okay? | 1m 09s | ||||||
| 10/31/24 |  13 Nights of Halloween: Night 13 - The Man Who Killed Halloween | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! Tonight, we make a sojourn into the world of true crime as we look at the true story behind the urban legends about Halloween candy being tainted with drugs or filled with razor blades. Sadly, the Pixy Stix that killed a young boy was given to him by his father. Not a stranger. His father. Why? Because he wanted to collect life insurance money and pay off his debts. Thankfully, this is the only known instance of Halloween candy which was... | 7m 38s | ||||||
| 10/29/24 |  13 Nights of Halloween: Night 12 - The War of the Worlds | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! Though Night 10 is in Pluto's hands, and Night 11 is currently unclaimed, Ares waits for no one, so we bring to you the infamous old-time radio episode, The War of the Worlds which first aired on October 30, 1938. This clever episode had the world in quite the panic. Its format, a seemingly innocuous orchestral concert interrupted by breaking news broadcasts, is what made this such a brilliant show. Though those who tuned in fr... | 1h 00m 28s | ||||||
| 10/27/24 |  13 Nights of Halloween: Night 10 - The Babysitter | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! We know! We're late getting this one out to you, but Halloween is my favorite holiday and having an excuse to prolong my celebrations is always welcome. As we eluded to in the PSA, Pluto and his family were tasked with retelling the famous urban legend, The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs. Of course, in Plutonian fashion, this story didn't come anywhere near to being as scary as the urban legend you likely know. Nonetheless, we had fun w... | 11m 08s | ||||||
| 10/26/24 |  13 Nights of Halloween: Night 9 (Reprise) - Those Who Walk In Darkness | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! After Death Robbery ended, my uncle turned and asked me what I meant when I said that Boris Karloff had a voice like molten silver with a sinister undertone. And, as much as I hate to admit it, he was right. This depiction was ... underwhelming. The story itself was a chilling classic, but a grieving scientist overrun by grief is a far cry from the villain I was looking for. Now this story? It perfectly captures what I wanted to sho... | 30m 37s | ||||||
| 10/26/24 |  13 Nights of Halloween: Night 9 - Death Robbery | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! Thank you for sticking with us through this marathon of episodes! Tonight, my nephew Hephaestus takes the mic and tells us why he chose this old-time radio episode from Lights Out! which starred Boris Karloff as David, an ambitious scientist who thought he could conquer death. What he didn't realize was that conquering death in the context of lab monkeys, rabbits, and mice is so much more ... clinical ... and shall we say, removed f... | 31m 07s | ||||||
| 10/25/24 |  13 Nights of Halloween: Night 8 - Urashimataro and the Turtle | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! We're back again and I can't believe I've managed to keep my family together and disciplined enough to get this done! Persephone must have something to do with it. Tonight, we'll be hearing from Chronos (or is that Cronus?), and he'll be reading us the tale of Urashimataro and the Turtle from Andrew Lang's Pink Fairy Book. We'll learn that though youth and beauty can be preserved, time will catch up, eventually, especially if you don't l... | 10m 08s | ||||||
| 10/24/24 |  13 Nights of Halloween: Night 7 - Father Frost | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! We've reached the midpoint of our celebration! Tonight, Hestia will be telling the old Russian tale of Morozko, otherwise known as Father Frost. In this tale, we learn that kindness actually doesn't kill, and cruelty can chill a person to the bone. Literally! Any feedback via dead letter should be sent to me, Hades@firesidefolklorewithhades.com. | 5m 56s | ||||||
| 10/23/24 |  13 Nights of Halloween: Night 6 - Death Is a Doll | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! Tonight, our very own Apollon has chosen an episode of old-time radio from the series Box 13. Here, we learn that sometimes, the mind can manifest curses more horrifying than anything seen in horror movies. We'll take a trip to the Bayou and find out what happens when a man is cursed and believes that death is nigh. If you have any feedback, as ever, those dead letters should be sent to me, Hades, at Hades@firesidefolklorewithhades.com. | 28m 27s | ||||||
| 10/23/24 |  Toss-Up Tuesday: The Olympian Games, Revisited | Send over your dead SMS messages. Greetings, listeners! I, Hades, removed an episode from this feed. Yes, though the Underworld doesn't generally let anything go, this time, I struck down something I said. It was the episode offering you the chance to sit by our fireside. It now has a permanent home which can be found at firesidefolklorewithhades.com on the right side, under The Olympian Games. At present, there are four voice-powered experiences for your pleasure. You may try your hand at be... | 2m 00s | ||||||
