It’s MerMay and we’re joined once again by our very own mystic siren, Chadwick Heiberg! Chadwick’s lifelong love of the sea brings two very satisfying mermaid tales (ha, get it?) for MerMay, starting with The Siren’s Hunger, where a familiar character returns but is forever changed – then a new […]
Romance! Bloodlust! Two Headed Giants! Three Headed Giants! Demons! Cool names! Kelsey tells the Cornish legend of Jack the Giant Killer this episode, and it is everything.

It’s Irish fairy tale month (AKA the best time of the year)! Abbie reads an old Irish folk tale that’s sure to bring a happy tear to your eye with The Spinners of Blessings. Then we take a sharp turn with Kelsey’s dark Irish folk tale, The Abhartach, thought to […]

We’re back from our winter break to start off 2026 with a couple of fairy tales our wonderful listeners suggested! Kelsey reads the Japanese tale, The Cat’s Elopement, and it’s as adorable as you’d imagine. Next she regales the Portuguese fairy tale, The Enchanted Maiden, and it’s not exactly the […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Come gather around the yule log and listen to some holiday tales: one with a big dose of colonialism (boo) before our favorite sad bisexual Victorian boy (yay!), Hans Christian Andersen brings the mood up for a change. Abbie tells a Mexican […]
