S7E9 - Anansi-ing Through Life: How Stories Came to Humans

Oh Muses! Bless our pronunciation skills and help us tell the story of how Anansi brought stories to humanity. In this episode, we encounter a set number of tasks that somehow grows, gourds, plantains instead of yams, unreliable narrators, trickery, a fearsome hunter, and a sticky doll. Everyone knows that Mmoatia's favorite food is really yams! We changed it so no one will try and trap forest spirits! Stay in school, kids, and leave the forest spirits alone. -- This episode was brought to you by Serwa Boateng's Guide to Vampire Hunting by Roseanne A.
