Episode 21 | Friend vs Foe

Do you recall this alignment chart I made for International Women's Day 2022?

Well, I went a bit further and wanted to make an episode about creatures that are friendly or malevolent towards humans. It's interesting to understand that some creatures have a protective role, whereas others are, to put it kindly, terrorists!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The Grootslang of South Africa

• The Tokoloshe of South Africa

• Papa Bois of Trinidad and Tobago

• The Aziza of the Kingdom of Dahomey

• Listen on Spotify

• Listen on Apple Podcasts

• Watch on YouTube
