In this episode, we hear about two sightings of a mysterious creature rumored to lurk in Kraken Mare, the largest sea on Saturn's moon Titan.This episode was sponsored by LikeHome, a meal preparation and delivery service located in the Inland Empire in Southern California. LikeHome provides fully customized and tailored home-cooked meals while promoting the importance of balanced nutrition and healthy eating.I personally ordered a meal from LikeHome. It was delicious and garnered unanimous praise from my family. I would fully recommend it, but if you live in the Inland Empire, you only have until the end of April 2022 to order, so don't wait! I, for one, definitely plan to order again before they leave for Arkansas.You can order from LikeHome by messaging @likehomellc on Instagram.Cover art by Crystal Arriaga (@design_n_create_ on Instagram)Theme music by aprilmusic on FiverrFollow Space-Age Folk Tales on:Instagram (@spaceagefolktales)Facebook (Space-Age Folk Tales)Reddit (/r/spaceagefolktales)Sound effects used in this episode:None this time!
