Monster of the Week is a weekly mythology podcast that delves into the stories, both real and fictional, behind a new creature, cryptid, or monster each episode...
Today we visit the French-Canadian province of Quebec to
tell the tales of the many times they’ve been host to a most malicious visitor: the devil.
We explore how the prince of evil is continually thwarted in
his plans by the plucky French underdogs.
How do they manage to stand in the face of such immense
evil? What nefarious plans does the devil have in store?
Let’s get our hooves in gear!
The songs featured are rendition of old Quebec folk- fiddle
tunes from Pascal Gemme’s Trad Quebec studio:

Captured by the Artist
In this mini-sode, a woman sits on a rocky outcropping by the seaside, her legs dangling over the water.
What could be wrong with this picture?

Big Joe Mufferaw
Today we sit in a rocking chair by a roaring fire and spin yarns about Joe
Mufferaw, the Canadian lumberjack-turned folk hero.
We explore how a small-town hero transformed into a larger-than-life figure that reshaped the landscape with his adventures through the power of story.
Is there anything big Joe can’t do? Who is the man behind the stories?
Let’s chop to it!
