Episode 11 - From Folklore to Fact

Hosts Erika Lance and Mark Muncy take a trip to the animal kingdom and regale us this week with some incredible stories about strange cryptid creatures that were discovered to be real! From an island of dragons to the kraken, we get into it all! The travels for this week are Komodo Island, Indonesia, the inspiration for the movie King Kong, or, if you are feeling less adventurous after listening to this episode, you can visit Weeki Wachee, FL, and see real mermaids that swim out of folklore and into your vacation!

If you like conventions and our podcast, come see our live show at MegaCon on April 1st!
