Fairy Tale Fix

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. Listeners beware. Oh, and happy six year podversary of Fairy Tale Fix!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
