427: Norse Legends: Wither or Not
About this episode
The episode explores themes of prejudice and understanding through Norse legends and the character of a merman.
🧙♀️So, you think your stepmom might be a sorceress🧙♀️ Common problem. Well, common for fairy tales, at least. But, have you thought that she might not like you putting her in a box and deciding what she is before you even get to know her? It's something you might want to think about. Definitely because you shouldn't be prejudiced. Also because if she's really a sorceress do you really want to make her mad? 😈 The Creature: Ipupiara A hairy, smelly merman who's just trying to keep up with the trends.
