EPISODE 25: SHE’S A COLD-HEARTED SNAKE (TWIN) | Kambal-Ahas or the Mystical Snake Twins of Philippine Folklore What does a mall, a carpenter, a tribe in the Sierra Madres and Alice Dixon have in common?  They are all tangentially connected to the uniquely (at least to our knowledge) Filipino myth of the Kambal-Ahas or Mystical Snake twin. Learn about how this ancient and modern story was shaped by all the happenings of the day, the indigenous wildlife of the Philippines, and the cultural intricacies of the different ethnic groups of Manila.  Plus, learn how to get a pet that gives you maximum cuddles. — Correction:  Bernardo Bernardo was the officemate in “Home Along Da Riles,” not Fernando Fernando. — The Gods Must Be Crazy is a podcast on Philippine Mythology hosted by friends Anama Dimapilis and Ice Lacsamana, avid mythology nerds, and semi-professional gossips.
