We are back this week with more shenanigans and WTF fairy tales for you! After a quick chat about our favorite mascots (AKA Crazy Crab who delights and horrifies), Abbie reads The Demon’s Daughter, a tale that honestly could use a little more demon stuff in it. Kelsey then reads […]
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.

Well, we’ve finally wandered through the forest enough to run into the same witch twice. After Abbie starts to read the same story Kelsey read last episode, she turns to a cold reading of Esben and the Witch by our favorite fairy tale queen Ruth Manning-Sanders. Then, Kelsey follows it […]
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 […]
