| 132: Shadow Daddy Situation | 27 Oct 2026 | ||
Nekonokai, Creature of the Night, and The Headless Mule & The Hook, Screaming Jenny, Jack O’ Lantern
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 retold by S. E. Schlosser: The Hook, Screaming Jenny, and a sequel to an old favorite: Jack O’ Lantern.

| 131: Fairy Tale Babysitter’s Club | 06 Oct 2026 | 01:53:07 | |
The Robber Bridegroom & The Magic Swan Geese and & The Unktomi, Two Widows, and the Red Plums
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 this spooky season episode with the worst fairy tale we’ve ever told on the podcast (we’ve said that before but this time, we mean it – trigger warning parents) with a Sioux tale: The Unktomi, Two Widows, and the Red Plums.

Prince Spinhead and Miss Snow White & Schippeitaro
The seasonal wheel is turning and we’re bringing you some autumnal themes with Abbie’s Dutch story, Prince Spinhead and Miss Snow White.

| 129: Bad Person, Good Character | 01 Sep 2026 | 01:28:07 | |
The Boy and the Dragon & The Dragon Princess
We are keeping the dragon stories coming this week! Kelsey kicks off this episode with The Boy and the Dragon, likely originally by the Micmac and Blackfoot indigenous peoples of Canada, written down by Cyrus Macmillan. Abbie follows it up by taking us deep into the sea, where she reads The Dragon Princess, a Chinese tale that has everything Abbie’s been hoping for in a dragon story, minus the story part. It’s a good thing we’re here to fix it. Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe. You can find us on Instagram @fairytalefixpod, and chat with us on our Discord channel!

| 128: We Have Two Problems Here | 19 Aug 2026 | 01:47:17 | |
Stan Bolovan & Auld Cruivie
We’re back, baby! Rested, hydrated, and ready to make all your dreams come true: specifically the Dragon and Scary Tree related ones. Abbie kicks things off with the Romanian tale of Stan Bolovan from RMS’s Book of Dragons, followed immediately by Kelsey’s telling of Scottish folktale Auld Cruivie. We are confused but pleased to say that for once…the men are alright! Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe. You can find us on Instagram @fairytalefixpod, and chat with us on our Discord channel!

| PATREON PREVIEW Bonus Episode 18: The Justice Order | 04 Aug 2026 | 01:23:51 | |
PATREON PREVIEW Bonus Episode 18: The Justice Order
In this previous Patreon-exclusive bonus episode, coming soon to a theater near you is the tale of THE JUSTICE ORDER – Seven kickass strangers will band together to fight for what’s right in Germany of yore. Or that’s what Abbie and Kelsey wish anyway for the continuation of The Brothers Grimm fairy tale The Six Servants. After that, we finally get a story where the prince actually does something himself, and deserves his rewards in the Ruth Manning-Sanders gem, Stupid Head. Fairy Tale Fix will return in August 2026.

| PATREON PREVIEW Bonus Episode 5: Witches Be Schemin’ | 21 Jul 2026 | 01:12:43 | |
The Donkey Lettuce & The Sun Takes An Oath
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.

The Wedding of Mrs. Fox & The Leeshy Cat and The Snake’s Treasure
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.

| 126: A Serious Case of Gender | 16 Jun 2026 | 01:16:22 | |
The Twelve Huntsmen & The Unicorn (“El Oricuerno”)
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, and a lion that’s either trolling hard or deeply anxious about all of it. Kelsey follows after with a Spanish fairy tale: The Unicorn, a magical story about community gender anxiety, disguise, true love, and more hunting. Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe.

| 125: I Am Never Going To See A Merman feat. Madeleine Lammel | 29 May 2026 | 01:20:10 | |
Yael & Mulwarra and The Weeping Mermaid of Loch Assynt & The Scottish Mermaid of Galloway
For this MerMay episode, we’re joined by a very special guest, Madeleine Lammel, Abbie’s sibling! Madeleine tells us the most romantic fairy tale we’ve ever heard on the pod, the Australian tale Yael and Murlwarra. Kelsey follows it up with two Scottish mermaid tales, The Weeping Mermaid of Loch Assynt and The Scottish Mermaid of Galloway. The question is, are these mermaids girly-pop, tragic, or scary? There’s only three kinds of mermaids, you know. Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe. You can find us on Instagram @fairytalefixpod, and chat with us on our Discord channel!

| 124: Hollywood, Are You Listening?? feat. Chadwick Heiberg | 19 May 2026 | 01:20:57 | |
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 kind of tale called The Sea Remembers, a timely reminder to respect our natural resources. Then, Abbie finishes with a Ruth Manning-Sanders story we can't believe we haven't read on the podcast yet, Rake Up! where a mermaid and her good friend Mark get their vengeance, as mermaids do. | |||
| 123: Swordscaliber! | 28 Apr 2026 | 01:44:08 | |
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. And yet, it still needed the Fixtresses help to add Feminism/Lesbians/More Epicness/One crucial renaming. Good thing for all of you we were here. | |||
| 120: Love Dem Kids | 26 Apr 2026 | 01:18:29 | |
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 be the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. | |||
| 122: My Two Daddies | 14 Apr 2026 | 01:54:17 | |
What's so funny? Find out this week on Fairy Tale Fix (spoiler alert; it's us) as Abbie reads us the Sicilian fairy tale The Laughing Apples as written by our favorite, Ruth Manning-Sanders. This is a long one so strap in! | |||
| 121: You’re Cool & Hot, and You’re Fired | 31 Mar 2026 | 01:16:00 | |
The best month of the year concludes with a little of everything we love in Irish fairy tales (with one notable exception). Kelsey spins a yarn about why you shouldn’t fuck with faerie raths, and then how to trick them into leaving you alone with The Fairies’ Revenge and The Hurling Match. Abbie delivers the ancient mythology and magical shenanigans first with the legend of the Man-Wolves of Ossory, then The Witches Excursion. | |||
| 119: It’s A Metaphor! | 24 Feb 2026 | 01:16:11 | |
This week on Fairy Tale Fix, the horrors persist but so do we! Because we have to. Kelsey follows up on her promise to deliver some Chinese dragons in The Four Dragons, and then reads a short, truly WTF Chinese fairy tale The Magic Cask. Abbie reads a beautiful Russian tale we've both heard of but knew nothing about–The Princess and the Firebird. | |||
| 118: High Quality Nasty Horse Stories | 10 Feb 2026 | 01:22:26 | |
Happy Lunar New Year! Abbie celebrates the onset of the Year of the Horse (her people!) with telling the tale of how the Chinese Zodiac came to be in the first place, followed up with a timeless horse trope here on Fairy Tale Fix with The Girl With The Horse’s Head (another excellent Chinese fairy tale). Kelsey follows up with another great FTF staple involving rich people being in hell: The Fiddler in Hell. | |||
| 117: Interspecies Elopement | 28 Jan 2026 | 01:19:22 | |
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 story our listener suggested and we're sorry. Abbie cold-reads an absolutely delightful German tale from Schleswig-Holstein that follows an old woman minding her own business before heading to bed called One, Two, Three. | |||
| 116: An End To Nonsense | 16 Dec 2025 | 01:12:44 | |
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 Christmas story about the poinsettia, or as we shall call it henceforth, cuetlaxōchitl (kwet-lah-SHO-shee-tl). Kelsey closes out 2025 with HCA's new year's tale, The Twelve Who Came by Mail, followed by The Snail and the Rosebush as a reminder to all of us to keep blooming and pay those who refuse no mind. Happy Holidays and see you next year! | |||
| 115: Old Jerkin’ It Johnson | 25 Nov 2025 | 01:03:16 | |
Is anyone else having an existential crisis? No? Just us? Well strap in because it's real clear on Fairy Tale Fix this week! Kelsey tells a Swedish fairy tale about how we humans keep having to learn the same lesson of not allowing people to hoard wealth over and over again in The Barrel Bung. Abbie's story also has a strong message about the importance of taking care of people who some might deem unworthy in Japanese folk tale Ubasute-yama (Mother-Rid Hill). Our fix for both stories? Eat the rich. | |||
| 114: The Gaslighting Girl Boss of Yore | 11 Nov 2025 | 01:00:57 | |
We love an unplanned theme! This week on Fairy Tale Fix, we're keeping busy with Abbie reading an Italian folk tale called The Man Who Only Came Out At Night, a story that's barely about that man at all. Kelsey then reads a Scottish fairy tale entitled A Box of Fairies, where a smitten young lad is given very specific instructions, and do you think he follows them? | |||
| 113: WRONG! feat. Chadwick Heiberg | 28 Oct 2025 | 01:10:42 | |
Our favorite nomadic gnome and spellbound storyteller is back for the third installment of his Baba Yaga series, we welcome Chadwick Heiberg back to Fairy Tale Fix! Chadwick reads his original fairy tale, The Road to Baba Yaga, and answers some very important questions we’ve had about our favorite witchy grandmother. Then, Kelsey finishes up this Halloween episode with two more stories from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: Wait Till Martin Comes and Aaron Kelly’s Bones. | |||
| 112: Slay… Literally | 07 Oct 2025 | 01:04:51 | |
It's Halloween season! Abbie kicks things off by telling us all about our childhood favorites; the Ouija Board Demon and Bloody Mary, followed by the terrifying English legend of Black Annis. Kelsey follows it up with a millennial Halloween favorite with more Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, featuring The Haunted House and Room for One More. | |||
| 111: Rapunzel: Am I Pregante? | 23 Sep 2025 | 01:35:07 | |
Kelsey takes inspiration from her trip into the woods and reads Rapunzel from the Brothers Grimm. Abbie follows it up with another tale about an old woman in Watching for the Milk Stealer from her Wise Women book. We also learn What Old Women Are Made Of – if you think you know the answer you’re WRONG! Find out on Fairy Tale Fix! | |||
| 110: Hot Mermaid Shit | 09 Sep 2025 | 01:18:40 | |
We're back at it again with some hot mermaid sh*! Kelsey tells a very mysterious tale we need all the details on about a Lorelai-esque baddie named Anna Mayala from The Turnip Princess while Abbie makes good on her promise and delivers two Palestinian tales of old women with The Old Woman Ghouleh and The Old Woman and Her Cat. | |||
| 109: A Light Stabbing feat. Tish Black | 26 Aug 2025 | 01:24:25 | |
Fairy Tale Fix has really hit the big time hosting our very first published fairy tale author: Tish Black! Tish reads the Fixtresses two of her fairy tale retellings that hit all the right catharsis notes for your feminine rage: Bone and Roan (hey that rhymes). Kelsey rounds out the episode with two tales of how old Russian ladies cope with their terrible husbands, and wow - they both need fixing real bad. | |||
| 108: Pew Pew | 12 Aug 2025 | 01:05:23 | |
Spoiler alert: the fix is Free Palestine for the Palestinian folk tale of Speak Bird, Speak Again told by Abbie in this episode. Kelsey takes things to a lighter (right?) place with the Slavic tale of Baba Yaga and the Brave Youth. | |||
| 107: Bird Logic feat. Gisselle M. Ingan | 22 Jul 2025 | 01:40:43 | |
MAKE WAY FOR OUR FAERIE OVERLORD! That’s right, this week the Fixtresses are joined by their dark mistress, their patron saint, their mysterious benefactor - the one and only Gisselle M. Ingan (cue air horns). Gisselle tells her very own original fairy tale - The Cloak of Rainbow Feathers (it’s beautiful, fun, and quite the Fairy Tale Fix itself). Abbie follows up with two shorts from the Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brother’s Grimm - The Old Beggar Woman & The Three Lazy Sons. | |||
| 106: Wrap It Before You Tap It | 08 Jul 2025 | 01:32:07 | |
Now usually we stan a wicked hussy, but for once we’re with the prince during Kelsey’s retelling of Hacon Grizzlebeard, a 1930’s screwball comedy masquerading as a Scandinavian fairy tale! Abbie follows up with The Magic Eagle, a Timotean (Venezuela) myth that honestly could use more shenanigans, as it features only competent protagonists who heed the call to action, make a plan, and follow all the rules. WTF. | |||
| 105: Back On Our Bullsh*t | 24 Jun 2025 | 01:27:38 | |
Fairy Tale Fix is back! This week we thank our listeners for your patience as we navigate the loss of our good friend and podcast editor & producer, Dustin. We miss you dearly, buddy. Abbie reads a story that would have tickled him pink–Ride A Cockhorse to Banbury Cross, and follows it up with a tale about putting yourself first and taking that well-deserved nap, The Giantess' Burden. Kelsey reads a Japanese folk tale called How An Old Man Lost His Wen, where he pops it, locks it, and drops it. | |||
| 104: Billy The Don, Billy The Dean, Billy Supreme, Wisp King | 25 Mar 2025 | 01:06:07 | |
It’s the end of Irish fairy tale month, and we've got two exciting tales to send it off in style! Abbie starts us off with Billy Duff and the Devil, a story about a lovable drunkard who gets up to all sorts of devilish mischief. Then, Kelsey sends us off with The Leprechaun's Trick, a proper Irish classic. Grab a pint and settle in! | |||
| 103: You’re Sucking All The Fun Out | 11 Mar 2025 | 01:18:31 | |
Finally, it's our favorite time of the year – Irish fairy tale month! FOUR for the price of two!!! Turn down the lights and pretend it's raining because Kelsey tells two ghostly tales perfect for a dark and stormy night; Sheela-Na-Skean and The Dreamhouse. Then, Abbie follows it up with two very cool Irish creation/mythology stories Fintan MacBochra and The River Shannon. | |||
| 102: The Crabfather | 25 Feb 2025 | 01:16:57 | |
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 from her new book Japanese Folktales, The Quarrel of the Monkey and the Crab which shall be known hence forth as The Crabfather. | |||
| 101: Comment Neptune | 11 Feb 2025 | 01:30:54 | |
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 Favor is chill as hell though - maybe too chill. | |||
| 100: Cinderella: Let Her Die | 24 Dec 2024 | 02:01:09 | |
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. Abbie reads the Brother's Grimm version for a fun twist on the tale, and Kelsey gives our former friend James Finn Garner a chance at redemption with his politically correct version. | |||
| 99: Stop Using Your Brain | 10 Dec 2024 | 01:26:17 | |
December is the time of year we all collectively reach the end of our mental ropes and get to stop thinking - but Kelsey clearly didn’t get the memo! Fairy tale architecture and the decisions of kings are questioned when Abbie reads the Greek tale of The Nine Doves, followed by Kelsey’s reading of the Norse tale The Lad Who Went to The North Wind (a super chill dude actually). | |||
| 98: What Would Skeletor Do? | 26 Nov 2024 | 01:18:23 | |
Today’s episode brought to you by existential dread! Kelsey regales the overly sappy fairy tale The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde—but don’t worry, she’s got a delightfully unhinged fix for our collective mood. Meanwhile, Abbie shares the indigenous (most likely Haida) folk tale The Ogre, the Sun, and the Raven, retold by Ruth Manning-Sanders. (That’s sun, not son.) | |||
| 97: What A Team | 12 Nov 2024 | 00:57:31 | |
It’s still spooky season in our hearts (and IRL apparently but let’s not focus on that)! Abbie regales three cautionary tales about traveling through bogs (which are always scary), and Kelsey recounts more millennial folklore with Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. | |||
| 96: Snow White: The Scream You Scrumpt | 29 Oct 2024 | 02:07:20 | |
It's Halloween–time for spooky forests, creepy disguises, and taking sweets from strangers. What better fairy tale than the classic Brothers Grimm Snow White & The Seven Dwarves?? In this episode, Kelsey retells the classic SW tale, and Abbie reads the somehow even more chilling politically correct version. Strap in because this episode gets REAL spooky. Seriously...wtf??? | |||
| 95: They Weren’t NOT Hot | 15 Oct 2024 | 01:41:10 | |
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 up with a short story called Tripple-Trapple from one of the newest RMS releases, A Book of Devils and Demons. | |||
| 94: Baba Yaga Goes New York (ft. Chadwick Heiberg) | 01 Oct 2024 | 01:21:39 | |
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 all three hosts work together to come up with the ultimate fix for it: a way better name. | |||
| 93: Pretty = Good | 17 Sep 2024 | 01:25:29 | |
New episode, same fairy tale nonsense about physical, traditional beauty being the most important thing about a femme presenting person. NOT ON ABBIE AND KELSEY’S WATCH! Hear how they fix the Eswatini legend of Nya-Nya Bulembu and the Portuguese tale of The Ugly Princess in this episode, and remember: your looks are the least interesting thing about you. | |||
| 92: Sounds Like Dwarf Slander | 03 Sep 2024 | 01:33:09 | |
Before the folktale readings even begin, Kelsey and Abbie share stories from their misbegotten youths that are the opposite of fairy tale perfection. After the drama, Kelsey follows up with the classic Brothers Grimm tale of Snow White……..and Rose Red! Gotcha. Abbie finishes us off with a story (also from the BG’s) that reads like two pages accidentally got stuck together: The Turnip. | |||
| 91: Pedantic Dolphin Girl | 20 Aug 2024 | 01:25:46 | |
This week on Fairy Tale Fix: Abbie reads the monstrous tale of The Man Whale, a story that tells us who exactly are the most terrifying and treacherous of sea creatures (spoiler: it’s dead beat dads). Kelsey tells the Siberian tale of The Maiden Suvarna from the now-available Ruth Manning-Sanders A Book of Ghosts and Goblins, where things aren't quite what they seem. | |||
| 90: Doing Your Okayist | 06 Aug 2024 | 01:21:31 | |
ROSES HAVE THORNS! Kelsey reads The Rose Elf from our favorite bisexual disaster, Hans Christian Andersen, which starts off like a true fairy tale and then takes a sharp turn toward horror story. Abbie gets argumentative and reads African folk tale The Contest of Riddles, giving listeners the opportunity to argue amongst themselves whether or not Kelsey got any points or not for her predictions. | |||
| PATREON PREVIEW Bonus Episode 21: Relatable King | 24 Jul 2024 | 01:06:57 | |
In this special Patreon preview, Abbie recites for Kelsey the 1680’s satirical poem The Dragon of Wantley, also known as A Farting Dragon Burlesque. Kelsey then regales her co-host with the tale of The Boy Who Wanted More Cheese. Both of these stories are exactly what they say on the tin, and it’s glorious. | |||
| PATREON PREVIEW Bonus Episode 12: Good For Him | 28 Jun 2024 | 00:58:33 | |
In this special Patreon preview, Abbie & Kelsey pick a couple of random fairy tales to read, and boy do these stories deliver! Kelsey discovers an incredible tale about an unreasonably confident man who has ALL the audacity in The Brave Little Tailor. Abbie brings the mood way down with Children of Famine, then way, WAY back up again when she reads The Ungrateful Son. | |||
| 89: A Slow Burn | 28 May 2024 | 01:29:40 | |
It's the end of MerMay, and wow, do we have one helluva story to end it with! Abbie cold reads a Cornish folk tale, The Mermaid's Vengeance, and it's a slow burn – you'll just have to trust the process. We're leaving on summer vacation for our #GretaGremlinSummer, but we'll be back in August. See you soon, Fairy Tale Fixers! | |||
| 88: Fish Fitzgerald | 14 May 2024 | 01:07:15 | |
Mermaids Ahoy! Kelsey kicks off MerMay 2024 with the Irish tale of Fish Fitzgerald…err…the Lady of Gollerus - about an unlucky merrow whose story was definitely written by a weird old man. Abbie follows up with the true Bangladeshi story of a Puri Enchantment, and we hope everyone’s doing ok. | |||
| 87: Bats! | 30 Apr 2024 | 01:00:15 | |
Join us this week as Abbie cold reads a couple of obscure Brothers Grimm fairy tales, including The Castle of Murder and The Carpenter & The Turner. Kelsey cold reads a tale that a listener sent specifically for Kelsey to read to Abbie. Can you guess where this is going? That's right – this tale is called The Cat and…erm… Rooster. | |||
