It's another installment of 'MIFFS Chronicles' where we discuss those little myths that just don't have the necessary 'star quality' to be given their own private episodes. However, we like them and it would be unfair to not give them some of the limelight. This episode will answer questions like 'Why do Bees sting?', 'Why is there a month called January?', 'How do I escape a Roman virgin-slave camp?' and 'Is tinned spaghetti a breakfast food?'.

Episode 64 - Asclepius
May 06, 2019 00:06 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MBMiffsiahs This week’s MIFF is the little known tail of Asclepius, the God of Medicine. This myth tells the story of a Demi-God who, unlike his Demi-God cousins, didn’t have super strength or a flying horse. Instead he had childhood trauma and super healing powers.

Anyone who succeeds gets her hand in marriage. This is great news for Odysseus because he can use this as the perfect place to carry out his master plan. Mainly due to the fact that the suitors don’t have any hand-eye coordination so there’s plenty of time to get everything set up. The boys also discuss Dan’s recent trip to Krakow and Matt's new r...

Episode 49 - Alcyone & Ceyx
January 21, 2019 04:01 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MBMiffsfires!

Well, turns out he went on a detour, fell in love and turned lots of people to stone. Matt and Dan also discuss their New Year’s eve experiences. 'Tis the season to be kind and giving, barely.

He's not Greek and he's certainly not Roman, it's the one, the only...Saint Nicholas! That's right, this week we're doing a myth we are all familiar with.

Unlike other myths of a similar story, in this one we get to find out what's happening to the girls family and friends back home, as they are left to deal with this sudden tragedy. We also get to see how the girl in question deals with the horror by forming a continent - Europe. We should make a Brexit joke but frankly we're just to up...
Episode 43 - Phaethon & The Sun Charioteer
December 10, 2018 04:01 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBMiffsterio (You know, like that villain from Spiderman?)! This week we're exploring a MIFF about a son who doesn't listen to his estranged father - who's a god.

You know it's a weird episode when Zeus is the mediator.We look at who Adonis really was. Remember to follow us on social media at @MiffsPodcast. You c...
Episode 41 - Miffs Chronicles (Volume 1)
November 26, 2018 04:00 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MBMiffsfits! This weeks MIFF is something a little bit different. It's a collection of weird and wonderful myths that are too short to be full episodes, but too good not to mention. Matt and Dan discuss such topics as: Giant semen clouds that birth centaurs, Zeus using his thigh as a womb and a mother turned into a grizzly bear and hunted by her own son. Matt and Dan also discuss Dan's new key ring (because why not). Remember to follow us on social media at @MiffsPodcast. You can email us at...
Episode 40 - Pan's Encounters

Maybe if Dan is good, he can stay on as a co-host... Remember to follow us on social media at @MiffsPodcast. You can email us at [email protected] and we love hearing your c...

November 04, 2018 23:54 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MBMiffchievers! It's Episode 38, which by Matt's count is just 3 away from 40! To celebrate this non-milestone Dan decided to leave the UK this week and abandon Matt, who had to record an episode himself. To stop this from happening Matt decided to ask a female, real life woman to help out. So ladies and Gentlemen meet the very, funny and talented Stand-up Comedian: Laura Lexx! Who by all accounts is terribly overqualified to do this podcast. Regardless she's here to help Matt tell this weeks...
Episode 37 - Oresteia: Libation Bearers
October 29, 2018 04:02 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MBMiffsfits Join us as we discuss the last piece of the Oresteia puzzle.
