🔱It's Poseidon's turn. On the podcast. Not to be king of the gods. He's actually totally not mad that his little brother is king. Because Zeus isn't the king of him. But Poseidon does do everything his brother says. Not because Zeus told him to, though. He just planned to do it anyway, so no problem. 😈 The Creature: The Alan Just don't boil Alan's kids and you're good. --- 📖 The Book! Myths and Legends has our first book coming out on December 1st!

And who makes him eat her earwax. 😈 The Creature: The Charles Mill Lake Monster This week, the state of Ohio flexes its greatest (super)natural resource: quirky cryptids. --- 📖 The Book!
