EPISODE 3: EAT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME | The Tiyanak (The Monstrous Baby of Philippine Mythology)

<p>In this episode, we meet the sometimes cute, mostly scary and most definitely NOT cuddly babies of Philippine mythology: the Tiyanak. These vampiric, baby-like creatures of myth give a whole other meaning to ‘the terrible twos.’<br> Is a tiyanak born or is it made? What kind of crazy heroics did pre-colonial fathers-to-be have to take on to defend against these creatures? And how baligtad is baligtad? <br> --- <br> The Gods Must Be Crazy is a podcast on Philippine Mythology. Follow us over at @godsmustbecrazy.pod on Instagram for more good stuff, and possibly answer some burning questions after this episode such as: What does a manananggal look like? How do you cook adobo? Who is Gardo Verzosa and why do they keep thirsting after him? We also welcome any suggestions on future topics or episodes.<br> The intro and outro music is by Brian O’Reilly (@dendriform on Instagram).<br> ---<br> Sources:<br> <a href="http://thebloodypitofhorror.blogspot.com/2016/04/tiyanak-1988.html">http://thebloodypitofhorror.blogspot.com/2016/04/tiyanak-1988.html</a> <br> <br> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiyanak">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiyanak</a> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/39010/39010-h/39010-h.htm#n10">https://www.gutenberg.org/files/39010/39010-h/39010-h.htm#n10</a> <br> <br> <a href="http://papers.iafor.org/wp-content/uploads/papers/acas2013/ACAS2013_0102.pdf">http://papers.iafor.org/wp-content/uploads/papers/acas2013/ACAS2013_0102.pdf</a> <br> <br> <a href="https://mysteriesrunsolved.com/2018/02/toyol-tiyanak-malaysia-baby-spirit.html">https://mysteriesrunsolved.com/2018/02/toyol-tiyanak-malaysia-baby-spirit.html</a> <br> <br> <a href="https://stoicaswang.wordpress.com/2016/03/21/the-tiyanak/">https://stoicaswang.wordpress.com/2016/03/21/the-tiyanak/</a></p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/app">https://anchor.fm/app</a>
