Monster of the Week

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:

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!

Hello my friends.

You may have noticed the new episode that popped into your feed last friday. That was no mistake!

That episode kicked off my second season of the show, which will run for 20 weekly episodes. This time though, the episodes will be alternating between the full episodes you know and love and mini-episodes that will be a little different.

I hope you enjoy!
