Once upon a time, comedians Fiona Ridgewell & Louise Atkinson decided to start a podcast that explores fairy tales, folklore, myths, and legends. But, these aren't the nice, fluffy versions of the stories everyone knows and loves. They're the original, darker, sordid ones from long ago.

On this episode of the Be Fairy Afraid Podcast, Fiona & Louise look at the story of the birth of Cú Chulainn; Irish warrior hero and demigod in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, and often described as the 'Irish Hercules'.

Louise & Fiona also talk about student loans, the risks of juicing and their axe throwing skills.

Give it a listen and please like & subscribe on Youtube, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, in the words of Giambattista Basile, from his story The Enchanted Doe - shut your mouths, open your ears, and hear what I shall tell you.

Hope you enjoy! :-)
