so, um, my friends and i do this podcast thing that might be useful if one wishes to create a story with weird elements of Russian folklore, but doesn't know where to look for legit tales/research/analysis

usually we ask a native English speaker to narrate a tale or a fragment of a tale; in this case, our narrator chose the tale himself

(i tried to talk him out of it, it's enormous compared to most tales, and it's i n s a n e)

so, yeah, now we have this tale about death, gambling, and a wildly unexpected Jesus

p.s. adding the artwork just for a good measure
