Grimm Reading

48. The Three Languages


Listen Later

In The Three Languages, a Swiss boy narrowly escapes execution at the hands of his father. With nothing but an expanded linguist repertoire, he sets out to make his way in the world. Will he survive an angry pack of spectral dogs? And will he heed the call of a frog’s prophecy?


After the story, things get intellectually rigorous as Adam is presented with three theories as to what’s going on: an historical interpretation of the tale, a Romantic interpretation, and a psychological one.

Finally we pick the next stories we’ll be reading and reveal the result of our Patreon story poll.

This is our first remote recording and unfortunately the quality isn’t super high. We’ve fixed it now and future recordings will be up better quality!

We are also delighted to present our first ever podcast collaboration with the wonderful Pontifacts! They make a special guest appearance and provide fascinating historical information for us to mull on.
