How did the tale of a girl with "zero survival instincts" evolve through the passage of time and what gritty details did the Brothers Grimm leave on the cutting room floor?

In this episode of Once Upon a Lie, we delve into the deep, dark woods of folklore to uncover the hidden truth behind the girl who made a red velvet cape iconic - centuries before it hit the runway.

Why does this story of disobedience and a cross-dressing wolf still have our collective imagination in a chokehold?

Join Annabelle Moore (Fairy tale fangirl) and Lord Mark Williamson (Fairytale newbie), as they take a deep dive into why taking a wrong turn and talking to a wolf doesn’t always end well. Featuring guest expert Jo Henwood (Ring Maiden of the Australian Fairy Tale Society) with narration by Kelly Monisse.
