A huge thank you to our listeners for sticking it out with us for over two years while we figure out this podcast life! We are taking a short break while we both transition through some pivotal changes in our lives. But we will not leave you empty-handed. We are bringing back some ancient episodes that have fallen off (aged out) of certain platforms. They are remastered and better for your ears! First up…The Grimm Brothers!

Snow White. Hansel and Gretel. Puss in Boots. Rapunzel. Cinderella. Rumpelstiltskin. Little Red Riding Hood.

What do all these famous tales have in common? Okay, books and movies, yes… but let’s go back in time. Way back. These fairy tales had a dark beginning, but we wouldn’t have them today if it weren’t for two very ambitious and determined brothers. This week, Jessica takes us down the windy path of the Brothers Grimm and reads us a few stories that you won’t see put out by Disney anytime soon.
