Once upon a time, comedians Fiona Ridgewell & Louise Atkinson as they explore 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, usually interjected with some of the silly goings ons in their lives.

In this episode, Fiona & Louise cover one of the classic fairy tales by Charles Perrault; Riquet-With-The-Tuft, a tale about a fairy who gives an ugly prince named Riquet the gift of conferring wit upon the one he loves the best.

Louise and Fiona also talk about car accidents, insurances claims and egg freezing parties, and basically have a general natter.

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! :-)
