F*cked Up Fables

Join us as we discover some of the truly f*cked up versions and history of our beloved fables, fairy tales, and lore.

Along Came A Pithos Jar!

Today we travel back to ancient Greece and hear a story most of us only know the ending of. It's full of titans, gods, marriage, horrible gifts, and a surprising lack of Hera. This cautionary tale is turned on its side as we hear the full story of Pandora and her mysterious box

In the last our of Horrible Holiday specials, Enkidu gives us a story from Norse mythology that shows us the true power of mistletoe.

Curl up with some spiked hot chocolate and join us on this 'wintery tale!

Double Double Toil and Trouble

Witches play a major role in Halloween stories and today, Enkidu is telling us all about the one who inspired them: Baba Yaga. And only a hop, jump, and a skip away in Japan are a group of demons called Onibaba that also have a mighty hunger for flesh. You won't find witches slaving over a cauldron or chanting, 'Double Double Toil and Trouble' in these folklore tales as we round out our month of Spooky Tales.

Welcome to the second week of Drunken Fables, where your host shares fairy tales and myths after having one too many.

Well, kind of about alcohol.  This one is a wild ride with a hard left in the middle. We hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed creating this episode!  Tune in next week for Enkidu's drunken tale.

In Which We Try to Talk Phantom, but Can't Stay On Topic....

Starting off our tragic love month, Titania takes us through the story behind the longest-running musical on Broadway. Or, at least she tries to. Enkidu's hatred for Phantom and Titania's love of Phantom continue to clash and boil down into a discussion of the history of ballet, their shared love of theatre, and experiences in choir. Yes, we definitely did not stay on track.   However, we plan to pick up the discussion again next week and actually try to remain focused on the topic. There's just so much to unpack in this story, but I hope you enjoy it.  Now, on to the show! Duuuuuuuuuun! Dun Dun Dun Dun Duuuuuun!
