Episode 19 – Hawaiian Tuna
Aloha! This week on MYTH, I’m headed to sunny Hawaii for vacation in honor of one year of podcasting, so I figured it would be the perfect time to do another episode on the trickster god, Maui. In this episode, you’ll see that little kids shouldn’t be in charge of naming creation, that eels are creepy motherfuckers, and that fish make great landscaping. Then, in Gods and Monsters, it’s the evil spirit that will fuck your shit up for eating in the wrong place, unless you’re related. This is the story of how Maui met his wife Hina, and how Hina gave her eel friend Tuna the “let’s be friends” speech from Polynesian mythology.
