Fairy Tale Fix – Details, episodes & analysis

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.

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).

A Choice of Magic – coming soon through Mab’s Media!

East O’ The Sun & West O’ The Moon

Fairy Tale Fix Podcast is a Fantastic Worlds Production.

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.

Bringing some true holiday nightmare fuel to your ears, Kelsey tells the world’s most depressing Christmas story ever, The Fir Tree, while Abbie tells the world’s weirdest fairy tale ever, The Snowman, both tales by known bisexual disaster Hans Christian Andersen. Brace yourself because both of these are TRULY WTF and that’s why we love them.
