Episode 68: The Uncanny Cabinet Part 1: The Yassification of Mermaids - a podcast by Xan Peters and Joe Cimino

In kicking off the start of 2022, we join our tour guides, Xan and Joe, in the Uncanny Cabinet where they will be launching a new series of tours focusing on mythological creatures through history, starting off with Mermaids/Merfolk. They discuss the origins of the mythology surrounding Sirens throughout history while attempting to investigate the psychological inner workings the stories might be alluding to. In contrast to the past, they also talk about the impact and fascination we have with mermaids/merfolk in our contemporary society and how it has changed/stayed the same over time.
