This is our first-ever Read Aloud episode, a new series from Once Upon a Podcast that brings you full, unabridged fairy tales told the old-fashioned way: out loud.

Today’s tale is an Irish whirlwind: talking bulls, magical ear-napkins, fire-breathing giants, a secret identity, and a dragon that gets exactly what’s coming to it. Billy Beg and His Bull is told here by Danny Oaks and originally comes from Irish collector Seumas MacManus.

Let us know — do you like this kind of storytelling? Want more tales like this? Would you want them on another "extra" platform like Patreon?

Your feedback helps us shape the future of this new series. And as always, thanks for listening!
