In today's episode Lizzie once again delights Zoe's inner Russian and Decemberists nerd with the rusalka, a water spirit from Slavic folklore. We discuss the dualistic nature of the rusalka myth, the many different stories associated with rusalki, and the rusalka's possible ancient origins.

This episode has a trigger warning for references to antisemitism.

Pre-order Hailey Spencer's book, Stories For When the Wolves Arrive, here!
