We decided to save the turtle story for next week, hoping to have a good one for next time, and leaned into "The Dragon Princess" this week, which is a story with very few action words in it. Hope you like learning about pearl stat blocks though. This episode brought to you by executive producer Chrissi, Aarne-Thompson type 1916, "The Breathing Tree" Suggested talking points: a...

Content warning: child deaths. Apologies for a patch of rough sound in the middle, it's about ten minutes: a piece of hardware came loose mid-recording. We're reading "The Woman With 366 Children," a story that really misses its mark on trying to land a morale, but what's new? This episode brought to you by executive producer VersusMe101, Aarne-Thompson type 316, "The Mermaid In the...

This week we're reading "Prince Slugobyl," a prince we're actually kinda into, which is rare. It's too bad that he's overshadowed by the much better Megahorse. This episode brought to you by executive producer Sarah D, Aarne-Thompson type 929, "Clever Defenses" Suggested talking points: the Slugobyl generation, a forced lady voice, summoning Michael Keaton, Userpent, infinite g...

The finale of "Gracieuse and Percinet" is here, and boy howdy is it a ride. So many characters to disappoint us! Content warning for emotionally abusive/manipulative relationships. Percinet is... bad. Suggested talking points: Grogoui, that's a Treebeard, the Book of Kells for poops, irritable jam syndrome, multiverse leaderboard, 50 Shades of Psyche, apex princess species, jam piracy, b...

We're very taken with Grognon, and very much NOT taken with Percinet, for reasons that will become very clear soon. Grognon continues to be an interesting villain, and Percinet continues to be JUST THE WORST. Suggested talking points: Buscemi's fatherly wet gaze, the Imaginarium of Dr. Percocet, horse socialism, Jack Bauer as Psyche, Grace the Unflayable, the first macguffin, 1719 summer Grognon h...

There's never been a Pokemon game that takes place in REAL America, so we're pitching Gen 9: Pokemon Stars & Pokemon Stripes. Note: we're touching on some serious issues here, and just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that although we are making jokes, this is all satire and we take these issues with gravity they deserve. If you like our show, find us online to help spread the word! Foll...

It's that time of year again, everyone. The d'Aulnoy train has been speeding toward us for a year, and it has finally arrived. We're reading "Gracieuse and Percinet" this year, which involves a surprising number of twists and turns for a chunk of story in which nothing really happens. Suggested talking points: Waffle House Valentine's Day, public podcasting, jam consumption, royal anatom...

A content warning: this story kinda involves sex trafficking. We have agreed that we have to talk about the daughter in question as an adult, and the trafficker is a magic bear prince, but it's still a little uncomfortable at moments. We're finally reading "East of the Sun West of the Moon." For a foundational fairy tale, it's got a lot of problems. This story makes a lot more sense when...

"Momotaro the Peach Boy" is truly Japan's Number One Momotaro, in that he's absolutely unstoppable. We might need to slow this sweet peach boy's roll a bit. This episode brought to you by executive producer Dave, Aarne-Thompson type 1540, "the Man From Paradise" Suggested talking points: objective comedy, fruit-based gentlemen, Cherry Man Catan, the butt families, Oni ecologica...

Apologies for the audio on this one gang, we had a microphone cord fray over the course of recording and it sounds like we've got an open lightsaber on the table between us. This story, though, has a lot going on. We're reading "the Barber's Clever Wife," and she gets into some wild stuff. Suggested talking points: the scientific method, a Sweeney Clod, Kingdom Hearts additions, as thick...

We're re-visiting our favorite shitbird with two different versions of "How Raven Stole the Sun." He's the same Raven that we know and love, and not just because he's given rise to the Cloaca Rangers. This episode brought to you by executive producer Mairzy Marzipan, Aarne-Thompson type 751a, "Peasant Woman Is Changed Into a Woodpecker" Suggested talking points: straight to sho...

We're back from hiatus with an Irish story called "Jamie Freel and the Young Lady." Lady only describes one of her forms though, which also include a sack of wool, and a dog maybe, we dunno it gets weird. Suggested talking points: strong arms rowin', scooping mad water, crocheting steel cables, off-brand Popeye, the worst Arby's slogan, yin and yang of the dank herb, poop freedom, horse...

Due to varying levels of wellness (and maybe a robot-related incident), we were unable to record an episode for you all this week. Thankfully, our past selves recorded like a whole bunch of episodes, so it's time for another clipshow! contains clips from: Mermaidsploitation, Blitz My Son, A Brief Downstairs Kiss, Mother of a Saltless Race, Pumpkin Mice Latte, and Brought To You By the Letter D If...

Eastern Europe always treats us so right, and "Youth Without Age and Life Without Death" is no exception. We're into beta-testing of Big Rock, and early results are looking good.
