This week on MYTH, we’ll catch up with our old pal Sinbad for his third legendary voyage. You’ll learn that you should really take the hint after the ocean tries to kill you twice, that it pays to know your classic mythology (even inside other mythology), and that it rarely ends well to be a nameless red shirt on a dangerous voyage with a folk hero. Then, in Gods and Monsters, a cousin of the great roc will teach us the secrets of modern obstetrics.

This week on MYTH, we’ll travel to modern Quebec for two stories from French Canada. You’ll discover that some royal relationships are inevitable (and that’s not necessarily a bad thing), that unhappy fairies can make their grumpiness everyone else’s problem, and that you should always know where your magic ring is. Then, in Gods and Monsters, a beautiful woman getting kidnapped by pirates doesn’t usually turn out as well as it did for Elizabeth Swan in Pirates of the Caribbean.

This week on MYTH, it’s off to southern Turtle Island for two tales of powerful supernatural creatures.
