*drool* Mmm Donuts.

Centuries ago some great innovator came up with punching a hole through fried dough. These dough balls eventually became the familiar ring shape we know today as donuts! Donuts have remained popular not only for it’s versatility, coming in all sorts of flavours and sizes, but also for being a bit of a cultural icon in the comfort food world. This week join Tuong La and Dough-Boyz Jesse Bergen (What We Do in the Basement), Thomas Proles & Kevin Ramberran (Oops All Segments) as they comb through dozens over baker’s dozens worth of fried pastries and come up with a slam DUNKIN’ Top 5 Donuts list.

171 – Top 5 Mythical Creatures

Tale as old as time.

The stories of mythical creatures have captivated the minds and imaginations of people around the world for centuries.

Either way we felt compelled to dive into this exciting meaty topic. So this week join Tuong and Mythical Podcast Legends Desiree Connors Warmington, Kristine Shadid, and Amanda Parker as they journey through mystical realms and drum up some magic to make a Top 5 Mythical Creatures list.
