Traversing Through Turkey


Listen Later

This week on Fairytale, Folklore and Fuckery the random country that was chosen this week was Turkey! This week is all about poor princesses that fall victim to morbid deaths or terrifying circumstances. The fairytale this week is one that lasts a hot minute simply because of how many princes and dragons and princesses exist in this story. But the last two tales are spoiler: quite sad and involve more dramatic princesses. Turkey has been so interesting to research, so check out the links below to learn a little more. Tune in next week for another cool country I won't know about until Tuesday!
