Episode 21 – The Magical Fruit
This week on MYTH, it’s back to West Africa for more exciting adventures from the Amazing Spider Man. And by Spider Man, I of course mean that delightful trickster god, Anansi. In this episode, you’ll learn that beans can do worse things than make you fart, that it’s a bad idea to sell your daughter for an easy meal, and that spiders are mooches. Then, in Gods and Monsters, it’s a snake-elephant crossbreed that protects an incredible treasure. This episode tells three stories of Anansi the Spider from West African mythology.
