If you haven't had a chance to listen to last week's episode, be sure to check it out, as we covered Duendes, Aluxes and Leprechauns. This week, we're taking a peek into Norse culture on a search for dwarves and elves. As well as getting into some lore behind Hawaii's Menehune, and closing things out with the Slavic tales of the Domovoi.

In part one we'll be taking a peek into the Duendes of the Philippines, The Aluxes of Mayan culture and Leprechauns and fairies from the Celtic side of things. Stay tuned til the end for a glimpse into which cultures we'll be looking into next week in Part 2. I can honestly see this being upwards of a 10 part series in the future, because like I said, there is truly so many different names for these entities, and a lot of them bare some striking similarities. It'll be fun to unravel over time.

Morgan Lauren in studio this week for a back to back dose of local Alaskan folklore! On Thursday, Morgan joins us for our weekly podcast to talk on the Alaskan "Little People", their origins, and just how far these stories actually reach.
