About this episode

The episode explores the story of Goria the shoemaker and his encounters with a devil and a mythical creature.

👞Goria the shoemaker has a bad boss👞 Is his boss the devil? Literally...well, no. Is the devil that Goria meets in a bar actually better than his boss? 100% yes. 😈 The Creature: Jack-in-Irons A creature who made it a bad thing to walk around threatening people with a spiky club and wearing human heads. Thanks, Jack. --- 🔗 Links: Disclaimer : https://myths.link/429 Ohio Potato Chip : https://myths.link/potatohio Membership : https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership Source : https://myths.link/goria YouTube : https://myths.link/youtube 💬 Social Discord : https://myths.link/discord Instagram : https://myths.link/instagram Bluesky : https://myths.link/bluesky --- 📢 Sponsors Home Chef : For a limited time, Home Chef is offering my listeners 50% off and free shipping for your first box PLUS free dessert for life!
