We have a legendary Welsh water monster to kick off this month's theme of watery stories. The Afanc is described as a cross between a crocodile and a giant beaver. This enormous creature is causing floods and eating anyone who comes near. Many brave souls have tried to kill it, but its hide is so tough that no spear, or arrow can pierce it. How can the local people stop the Afanc from flooding their land? Listen to Welsh singer/storyteller Gillian Brownson and find out. Learn more about your ad choices.

Stuart and Burning Man's Community Services head honcho Terry “Retro” Schoop riff on the streets of our fair city and the naming thereof, from the controversial to the miraculous to the misunderstood. Black Rock City has elaborate art themes, each with street names, each with curious conditions. Why does our recreational refugee camp even need street names? Were they always alphabetical around an imaginary clock face? And what's a clock anyway? Hear this year's art theme (ANIMALIA) express itself through cryptids (animals that no one can prove are real). Folklore and fandom brought us our new ABC street names: Afanc, Bigfoot, Chupacabra, Dingbat… and NOT the Easter Bunny, thanks to Encantados, which are were-dolphins that shape-shift into dapper dancers in search of a party.  This is an episode with literature, lore, and laughter — and a pile of BRC trivia for street cred.Streets of BRC 2023: Cavalcade of Cryptids | Burning Man JournalBurning Man 2023: ANIMALIATerry “Retro” Schoop | Burning Man JournalBurning Man Staff: Terry Schoop

We're back in the Mabinogion, a collection of Welsh folklore, where we'll see what happens when the apocalypse comes and goes. The good news is that you survived! Yay! The bad news is that, since your servants have all disappeared, you'll now have to make your own bed. Bummer.The creature this week is the Afanc, which is also from Wales, with a great reason why you don't want that angry lizard beaver monster to fall asleep in your lap.

Join the ladies of Hype Podcast as we take a deep dive into Merlin 1×02 “Valiant” and 1×03 “The Mark of Nimueh.” Welcome to the second episode of our Merlin rewatch! If you’ve been following along on our weekly regular show, you’ll know taking a deep dive into BBC’s beloved Arthurian Legend series (just like we’ve done with Gilmore Girls and The 100 is something we’ve been wanting to do for awhile. As with our past rewatch specials, we want to remind you that despite the fact that Selina and Pam have both already seen the series in full, all of our episodes will be spoiler free! That means if you’re watching along for the first time with us, we we won’t be discussing anything that happens past the episode(s) we’re highlighting in each installment of our Merlin rewatch series. You can listen to our previous episode discussion, for the series pilot “The Dragon’s Call,” right here. 1×02 “Valiant”: – How did we feel about this episode when it first aired 10 (!) years ago? – How did it work as a follow-up to the premiere? – Legend vs show: Knight Valiant in Arthurian Legends – What a weird plan – The tournament is a lot of fun – Does Arthur train all his servants, or just Merlin? – Arthur seems willing to listen to servants when Uther is not – Even though he’s angry at being humiliated, Arthur believes Merlin the whole time, even heading into the final battle and presumably his death knowing that the shield is magic – Uther and Arthur’s ideas of what constitutes a ‘good’ knight are very different – Plot hole: couldn’t Gaius have just told Uther about the poison and confirmed it was magic? Since this is exactly what he does in the next episode… – Would Uther’s snobbery/pride/inability to admit his own mistakes actually overrule his obsessive quest to eradicate magic? Do we really believe he wouldn’t jump at any chance to catch a saucerer, especially since actual evidence exists that magic is involved? – Arthur and Morgana’s will they/won’t they is heating up – Morgana “saving” Arthur: a cute moment, but ‘saving’ is a bit of an overstatement, no? – Fun facts! – Favorite scenes – Favorite quotes 1×03 “The Mark of Nimueh” – Three episodes in – are we hooked? – This feels like a significant episode in terms of the series overall – Legend vs Show: Nimueh and the Afanc in Arthurian Legends – How does Nimueh work as a villain? – Does she have a past with Uther and Gaius? – We get more info on how magic works in the show: Gaius describes Nimueh magic as being “of the darkest kind,” says magic ‘corrupts’ but also that “it’s neither good nor bad. It’s how you use it.” – Merlin almost seems like he has withdrawal symptoms after being told he can’t use magic to help the victims – While Uther is clearly insane, he IS also trying to save his people – Angel Coulby is amazing in this episode – Guinvere gives Merlin AND Morgana flowers… – Everyone is convinced that Merlin is in love with Gwen. So is he? – Tom and Gwen’s relationship – Merlin tries to sacrifice himself for Gwen; Arthur stops Merlin from taking Gwen’s place – It’s hard to believe Arthur and Gwen can ever become ‘Arthur and Guinevere’ from the legends – Finally Morgana gets involved with the action (even if just to come along and scream, but it’s a start) – Morgana and Gwen’s friendship is established: Morgana has complete belief in Gwen’s innocence – Defeating the afanc with elemental magic = air and fire can defeat earth and water – Do the Merlin foursome correspond to the four elements? – TThe dragon says Merthur is “two sides of the same coin” – Arthur’s views on magic in this episode is surprisingly fair and sensible – Favorite scenes – Favorite lines We round off as always with listener feedback.
