Silesia is a tiny mountain pass in central Europe comprising Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic, and you've never heard of it which is fine. In that mountain pass lives a trickster fellow called Rübezahl, fritting away his days doling out benign punishments for small acts of rudeness. This week, Casey tells the story of how he got his terrible name. Featuring: Turnips, mountain hideaways, and a wife, of course.
