344: Armenian folklore: Giants, Giants Everywhere
The story of Mirza, from Armenian folklore, and why it pays to be a heavy sleeper. Also, if you find your incredibly angry, stinky uncle chained up in a closet...it's probably best to leave him there. If you can.
The creature this week is Big Bird! If Big Bird ate corpses...
