We tried to cram a little of everything into our Halloween episode! Cat spirits, devilish encounters, and shapechanging monsters fill Abbie’s stories this week: The Nekonokai from Japan, Creature of the Night and The Headless Mule – both from Brazil. Kelsey follows up with some excellent American horror folklore as […]
Welcome to the worst Babysitter’s Club ever. Kelsey starts the episode off with what we think is a scary Halloween story with the German Brothers Grimm tale, The Robber Bridegroom, along with a Slavic #BabaYagaAutumn tale The Magic Swan Geese (everybody knows about the magic swan geese, duh). Abbie finishes […]
The seasonal wheel is turning and we’re bringing you some autumnal themes with Abbie’s Dutch story, Prince Spinhead and Miss Snow White. Kelsey brings just a hint of spooky season to the episode with the classic Japanese folk tale, Schippeitaro.

In this previous Patreon-exclusive bonus episode, Kelsey reads The Donkey Lettuce that follows a sweet young hunter that finds out the hard way that witches always be schemin’. Meanwhile, Abbie tells us a really unsatisfying creationism story, The Sun Takes An Oath.
Strap in for a Jumbo Sized #HotGoblinSummer kick off as Kelsey tells the unhinged Grimm’s fairy tale, The Wedding of Mrs. Fox, and then a listener recommendation from our favorite: Ruth Manning-Sanders, The Leeshy Cat. Abbie finishes up perfectly for our summer break and leaves you with The Snake’s Treasure. […]
A very happy Pride to you and yours! This episode is all about gender and kissing the people you want to, with a little vengeance sprinkled on top. Abbie recounts the Brothers’ Grimm tale of The Twelve Huntsman, which is a story about true love, disguise, the supposed gender binary, […]
