We're continuing our Booktober literary theme with a topic filled with mirth and magic - fairy tales! We all know the classics, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid. But do you know the stories how they were originally written? Emily sure doesn't. Also, what's the deal with step mothers, what did they ever do to deserve evil infamy? Join Emily on this soapbox and more as Kyra details our favorite childhood stories, in a fantastical fairytale themed episode for the ages!

This episode contains sensitive topics including sexual assault, body horror, and cannibalism. Listener discretion is advised.

Welcome to the very first Stuff I Didn't Write RUMBLE ROTUNDA between the powderkeg Kyra "LIVE LAUGH LOVE" Seegypie and the stern yet gentle Emily "WAR IS PEACE" KDubs. We invite you to a Battle of the Books: a 1984 shakedown meets the heavy-hitter Brave New World  in this debate-style episode where we talk about the most relevant literature in today's dystopian hellscape. Which poignant novel do you think is the most relevant in today's society - control through fear or control through pleasure and complacency? Give a listen and let us know if it's a knock out!

This month kicks off a NEW fundraiser in honor of National Book Month in October. All donations made to our Ko-fi page from October 1-31, 2021  with the hashtag #stuffidonated will be donated to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
