ATTENTION Special Disclaimer: In this week’s episode of Fairy Tale Menagerie, Jess and Sam welcome their fellow Weird Sister, Larissa Silva. Larissa has lived in Waianae and Ewa Beach growing up and came on to discuss Hawaiian folklore with us. This episode was recorded just before the complete eruption of the Kilauea volcano. We had delayed this recording out of loving respect and support for those affected by this natural disaster.

Adorn your favorite trousers and join Sam and Jess with two very special, pant clad heroines, Marchetta and Mary Read.
