S3 Episode 3: Medieval Europe Hates (Fish)Women

The folks are back after an impromptu holiday staycation! Not to worry, we still managed to retain all of our shareholders and the LOTF stock didn't dip too much. Not then, back to business...

In this installment of nonfiction lore, the folks look at how the dark ages in Europe influenced the tales of the mermaids, and what factors played into that. We also retell the original 19th century "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Anderson, with a marginal 5% more disparaging of women sprinkled throughout.


Tune in next week for who knows what and be sure to like and subscribe for more juicy lore!

Despite an outward persona of the seasoned man of the west you see before you, Terren Coffey might be the furthest thing from that idyllic archetype one could imagine. Currently studying cinematography and film production, Terren is equal parts a student of cinema and obscure fictional universe lore that could never be applied to the real world. He thought there was no better time to start a brand new podcast than the end of the world, so he quit his warehouse job to make the most of the apocalypse and started a pop culture show with his friend Isaac. We hope you enjoy what the boys have to offer to the never ending discussion of entertainment, and have as rootin tootin a time listening as we do creating!
