This week, on the Myths and Legends podcast, there are three stories of tricksters.

On the story of the coyote, you'll see that boulders really do appreciate good gifts.

On the story of Anancy, you'll see that it's in plate to not say you're welcome, but

totally cold to punch someone in the face for not saying you're welcome.

On the story with Loki, you'll see how a Norse god pilots is chariot, with a glowing

boar headlight. Then, on the creature of the week, you'll learn that you, for some reason,

shouldn't trust a frog with talons and glowing blue fire eyes that hops up to you in the

road in the middle of the night.

This is the Myths and Legends podcast, episode 32, Wager.

This is a podcast where I tell stories from folklore. Some are incredibly popular stories

you think you know, but with surprising origins. Some are stories you might not have heard,

but really should.

This week, it's three stories about tricksters. They are always the most powerful, but

the strongest, or even the smartest, but these charming rogues have places in folklore

all around the world. The first story today is about coyote. As we've talked about before,

coyote is a trickster from many made of American mythologies. It's unclear whether he's an

actual coyote, an anthropomorphic coyote, or just a man people call coyote. I personally

picture him as an anthropomorphic coyote person, but there's justification for all three.

He's sometimes a hero, as in the last story I told, but more often than not, his hijinks

and trickery get him into trouble too. He's not an evil character, alignment wise, but

he gets by on his wit with a carefree, smart, eloquent manner about him, or sometimes

it backfires and causes big problems for him.
