Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young maiden with a face so fair and voice so eloquent no one could help but adore her. And, oh ho! Did she have a friend! But unbeknownst to the maiden, her good friend was a witch.
They spent long days together in their youth, sipping wine and drinking ale at their local taverns while telling each other stories of other beautiful maidens and evil witches and helpful dragons and cats who are actually trolls, all while drunkenly laughing to each other about such wonderful tales, and how they could be fixed for the modern ear.
Welcome to Fairy Tale Fix! A podcast for the modern maiden, clever lad, evil witch, frog prince, mischievous faerie, or what have you. Tune in every other Tuesday for fanciful tales between two friends.

76: She’s Screaming About The Correct Things
We examine the Pied Piper of Hamelin from every possible angle! Kelsey reads us the original Brother’s Grimm tale, a more recent poem based on it, and theories about the real life events that inspired it. Abbie follows up with the PC version from Politically Correct Bedtime Stories by James Finn Garner, and capstones it all off with the PC version of Red Riding Hood. Garner really posed the ultimate fix there, whether he meant to or not.

75: Insignificant Slippers
Abbie continues our dive into Little Red Riding Hood by reading the Algerian version called Rova. You won't find this tale in English anywhere else (probably)! Kelsey says goodbye to spooky Halloween with the Russian tale The Dead Mother and takes a sharp turn into a happily ever after with Ruth Manning-Sanders’ Andromeda Dances (without her insignificant slippers).

74: Little Red Riding Hood: Inside You Are Two Werewolves
If you gave Red Riding Hood a nickel every time a wolf tried to eat her, she’d have two nickels. Not a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice right? Kelsey finally gets to tell her favorite childhood fairy tale, and surprises Abbie with the sequel she never knew existed! After that, Abbie tells the Taiwanese folktale of Aunt Tiger - a badass immortal witch who comes with sweets and an appetite for children.

73: You In Danger, Girl ft. Chadwick Heiberg
Join us for a chilling episode as we're joined by visual storyteller and brilliant artist Chadwick Heiberg for spooky season! Chadwick unveils his original fairy tale, The Three Witches, following young sisters fleeing from their Salem home–a New England classic not for the faint-hearted. Kelsey shares two dark and twisted robber bridegroom tales; Greenbeard from Lithuania, and The Cannibal Innkeeper from Romania. Get ready ‘cause this one’s a doozy.

72: Millennial Folklore
Damsels are slightly distressed in this episode, but they freaking HANDLE it. First Abbie tells the Punjabi tale of Bopoluchi, a fierce and proud young woman with nerves of steel and a license to kill (that she gave herself). Next, Kelsey recounts the German story of the Maiden With No Hands, whose superpower is a good head on her shoulders and great boundaries.

Customer Reviews
I will never not try to convince people to listen to this podcast
This is one of my favorite podcasts. It's hilarious, bizarre, and wonderful. I'm constantly trying to get people to listen to it. After almost every episode I recap the stories for my partner because I can't not tell people about them. I have become obnoxious in my efforts to get some of my friends to listen to it. You will not regret a minute you spend listening. Wild murdered horses couldn't drag me away. 10/10 would recommend.
Cry-laughing in public places, just amazing.
I binged 70 episodes in about three and a half weeks because I couldn’t get enough. I have been seen walking to and from the office, grocery store, UPS, and other public places in broad daylight, unabashedly smiling and laughing like an idiot at the ridiculous stories and hot takes these ladies have in every episode. Loving the friendship between these two amazing hostesses and Dustin don’t ever cut any of it out!!
So much fun!
It is so fun listening to the stories every week between these two friends! Love it!!
