Episode 484: The Wizard of Teeth (The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather Part 3)
Even though it says "Part 3" in the title, we close out Part 2 of "The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather" this week, thus bringing an end to our tale of a guy so dumb and annoying he caused the very concept of death to exist.

Episode 483: Unanimous Vote from the Bug Council (The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather Part 2)
This week, we conclude at least Part 1 of The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather, having learned nothing about said Red Feather, but a surprising amount about bugs, their legs, and the lexicon of demons and wizards.

Episode 482: Part 1 of Part 1 of ? (Part 1)
This week on WTFolklore, we begin an unexpectedly long journey into "The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather", a Zuñi Folktale that we've barely scratched the surface on, if the episode title serves as any indication

Episode 481: A Cow Could be a Bird
We're back to regularly scheduled antics after surviving d'Aulnoy again, this time to read "The Dun Cow", a story that would've fazed us a decade ago, but to which we now find ourselves unfortunately inured.
