127: Kiss My Snake Face, Don’t Be Afraid

Strap in for a Jumbo Sized kick off as Kelsey tells the unhinged Grimm’s fairy tale, The Wedding of Mrs. Fox, and then a listener recommendation from our favorite: Ruth Manning-Sanders, The Leeshy Cat.

126: A Serious Case of Gender

A very happy Pride to you and yours! This episode is all about gender and kissing the people you want to, with a little vengeance sprinkled on top. Abbie recounts the Brothers' Grimm tale of The Twelve Huntsman, which is a story about true love, disguise, the supposed gender binary, and a lion that's either trolling hard or deeply anxious about all of it. Kelsey follows after with a Spanish fairy tale: The Unicorn, a magical story about community gender anxiety, disguise, true love, and more hunting....

125: I Am Never Going To See A Merman feat. Madeleine Lammel

For this MerMay episode, we're joined by a very special guest, Madeleine Lammel, Abbie's sibling! Madeleine tells us the most romantic fairy tale we've ever heard on the pod, the Australian tale Yael and Murlwarra. Kelsey follows it up with two Scottish mermaid tales, The Weeping Mermaid of Loch Assynt and The Scottish Mermaid of Galloway. The question is, are these mermaids girly-pop, tragic, or scary? There's only three kinds of mermaids, you know....

124: Hollywood, Are You Listening?? feat. Chadwick Heiberg

It's MerMay and we're joined once again by our very own mystic siren, Chadwick Heiberg! Chadwick's lifelong love of the sea brings two very satisfying mermaid tales (ha, get it?) for MerMay, starting with The Siren's Hunger, where a familiar character returns but is forever changed – then a new kind of tale called The Sea Remembers, a timely reminder to respect our natural resources. Then, Abbie finishes with a Ruth Manning-Sanders story we can't believe we haven't read on the podcast yet, Rake Up! where a mermaid and her good friend Mark get their vengeance, as mermaids do....

123: Swordscaliber!

Romance! Bloodlust! Two Headed Giants! Three Headed Giants! Demons! Cool names! Kelsey tells the Cornish legend of Jack the Giant Killer this episode, and it is everything. And yet, it still needed the Fixtresses help to add Feminism/Lesbians/More Epicness/One crucial renaming. Good thing for all of you we were here....

121: You’re Cool & Hot, and You’re Fired

The best month of the year concludes with a little of everything we love in Irish fairy tales (with one notable exception). Kelsey spins a yarn about why you shouldn’t f**k with faerie raths, and then how to trick them into leaving you alone with The Fairies’ Revenge and The Hurling Match. Abbie delivers the ancient mythology and magical shenanigans first with the legend of the Man-Wolves of Ossory, then The Witches Excursion....

120: Love Dem Kids

It's Irish fairy tale month (AKA the best time of the year)! Abbie reads an old Irish folk tale that's sure to bring a happy tear to your eye with The Spinners of Blessings. Then we take a sharp turn with Kelsey's dark Irish folk tale, The Abhartach, thought to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula....

119: It’s A Metaphor!

This week on Fairy Tale Fix, the horrors persist but so do we! Because we have to. Kelsey follows up on her promise to deliver some Chinese dragons in The Four Dragons, and then reads a short, truly WTF Chinese fairy tale The Magic Cask. Abbie reads a beautiful Russian tale we've both heard of but knew nothing about–The Princess and the Firebird....
