Episode 17: “The White Snake” (9:35) Whenever I read this type of story I always wonder who it was that first ate a white snake and realized he could suddenly hear animals speak. For that matter, I would love to see a fairy tale version of Chopped. “In your entree basket: “Whole duck, leg of Horse, White Snake, and…
Episode 16: “The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean” (3:07) This little tale reminds us that busting a gut while laughing is a time-honored tradition. It also tells us why all beans have black seams. I must say, though…I have never felt bad for a bean in my entire life. That must have been one very unique tailor. …
Episode 15: “The Little Folks’ Presents” (5:41) Yet another cautionary tale about the dangers of greed. You know, I really wish karma worked this well and this swiftly in real life.

New reviews are up at Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show! Title: Fuzzy Nation Author: John Scalzi EAN: 9780765328540 Admit it: it’s a strange title.

Episode 13: “Old Rinkrank” (4:47) Since I had Kassidy and Ariell with me for Take Your Princess-in-Training to Work Day, they joined me for this particular fairy tale podcast. We had a great time, so they might be joining me for podcasts in the future…watch for it!
The bookmarks have arrived and they look GORGEOUS. I only wish I’d ordered more. But this confirms that the other ” story faces” I’ve prepared will be good to go as soon as I can afford them. *happy dance*
Episode 12: “Clever Gretel” (5:22) If you’re ever in the market for a peaceful servant, never hire a woman wearing red heels. Watch Princess Alethea’s Rant about this fairy tale here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2yl-Vby7Ts
