Can we offer you some WTF Fairy Tales in these trying and completely precedented times? Abbie and Kelsey are in an altered state of multiple kinds after the winter break, as is the title character of the Punjabi fairy tale The Ruby Prince! The title character of China’s A Dragon’s […]
Come celebrate with us as we bring you our 100th episode of Fairy Tale Fix! We mark this momentous occasion with the tale that’s been told 100 million times and counting–the transformation queen, the midnight majesty, the bippity-boppiest of them all, Cinderella.

A very spooky forest witch welcome to returning guest Chadwick Heiberg! Our time zone hopscotch playing woodland bard returns with the incredibly satisfying sequel to his original story Three Little Witches with the story of One Arm, Two Wings. After, Kelsey tells a tale simply named Baba Yaga – and […]
New episode, same fairy tale nonsense about physical, traditional beauty being the most important thing about a femme presenting person. NOT ON ABBIE AND KELSEY’S WATCH!
