172-Norwegian Folklore: Adventure!

The story of the master thief, from Norwegian folklore, which will have you wondering what the difference is between a master thief and someone who exploits the laziness and ignorance of strangers in incredibly basic ways for their own gain. Also, being a good parent apparently means abandoning your kid in the forest?

The creature this week is the skolopendra, and it…might just be real.
