A queer contemporary take of the Goldilocks tale: about love, music, and breaking the cycle of abuse. Goldie escapes a chaotic childhood only to go from a partner who starves her of love to a partner who nearly drowns her in it, before learning to be just right on her own. From CBC Podcasts and Mermaid Palace. Produced by award-winning podcast creator Kaitlin Prest featuring writer/director Drew Denny.

EP. 1: Meet Goldie
The cycle begins
“Everyone feels the same way when we fall in love, right? But what if I’m a puzzle piece so misshapen that when I find my perfect match... it’s a disaster. Dangerous even?”

EP. 5: Too Much
Intimate partner violence
“Never in all my years of playing dress-up, of scissoring my Barbies, of pretending to marry my dog, did I ever imagine I would grow up to stare into the eyes of my beloved and say: ‘Can you please stop pointing the gun at me?’”

Customer Reviews
Love this - authentic
My only frustration was the whispers and episode 5 completely lost. Taylor great to a monster ... felt it needed more development
Sound quality very poor
This would have been much better if the sound was consistent. Very frustrating as the characters whisper so much and you can’t hear them even with volume ridiculously high. Disappointing
This podcast rocked my world
Such a great podcast
