Episode Synopsis

Did you know that the vampire legends actually come from Serbia? I didn’t either until last year. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned from historians and the book, The Slavic Myths by Noah Charney and Svetlana Slapšak. The first half goes into the history of vampire legends as a whole and then in the second half, I retell the legend of Sava Savanović, Serbia’s most famous vampire. These episodes are not recorded in any special studio. I may be outside walking, in the car, or at home. I encourage you to do the same when listening.
