Once Upon a Podcast

Let's do something scary! This fairy tale (if you can even call it that) is practically a horror film from the 1800s by the Brothers Grimm. Get ready for some blood, gore, and fun with this episode as we cover the idea of being brave and being brave... but not too brave. If you're more into the old tale of Mr. Fox (not the so-called-Fantastic one), you'll want to listen in as well.

Little Red Cap, Little Red Riding Hood, The False Grandmother (what???). The story, as old as time and with many names, is discussed by your favorite fairy tale amateurs in this episode. Even if you've heard this fairy tale before, you may not know (one of) the original endings where things may not end well for Little Red or Granny. We dive into the stories by Charles Perrault and The Brothers Grimm, and let us know if you'd like an episode on other variants!

The themes for this episode are more mature, so some viewer discretion is advised.

It is time to jump into Hans Christian Andersen! Little Claus and Big Claus is a Danish tale from 1835 about two guys named Hans who both like money and are willing to do almost anything to get it. It feels more like a violent cartoon at times than a fairy tale. If you are into weird tales of history, we think you will love this one.

Starting it off the same way Disney did! In this episode, we talk about Little Snow White by the Brothers Grimm. With this fairy tale, we discuss some themes like how the battle between envy and innocence plays out, and we wonder if maybe that magic mirror was really the bad guy the whole time.

We hope you enjoy!
