Hymn to Persephone (Feat. Jessica Caravaggio)

Tales From The Enchanted Forest ·

2021/08/18

Hades and Persephone have one of the most well-known myths, but did you know the whole debacle might be Aphrodite and Eros’ fault? In this episode, we delve deep into the origins of the myth with the Homeric Hymns’ and Ovid’s poetry to examine the way they treat Demeter’s smothering, Hades’ villainization and Persephone’s agency. Joining us for this episode is Queen’s University doctoral candidate, Jessica Caravaggio.

Hit the Road Jack Spriggins

Tales From The Enchanted Forest ·

2021/07/21

You know the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, but do you know the story of “Jack Spriggins"? A less likable, more fantastical story of Jack! Instead of stealing from the giant three times to aid his financial woes (and mismanagement), Jack abandons his toad ‘grandmother,’ marries an Empress who can turn into a Basilisk, and gets a pretty cool castle in the sky.

Trespassing, property rights, destruction of property and assault are just some of the things the Billy Goats Gruff can be charged with! Norwegians love their Trolls and we love talking about them so come talk about Hilda, trolls in the dungeons and three very fat Billy goats.

2021/06/26

Welcome to our first episode of “Tales from the Box Office” where we will explore all the different elements in a movie relating to fairy tales, literature, myths and legends!

Vasilisa: The Podcaster

Tales From The Enchanted Forest ·

2021/06/23

Vasilisa is known by many adjectives, the beautiful, the fair, the just, and the...podcaster? On a parallel note, Baba Yaga is also known by many names but her house with chicken feet remains a fun constant. Join us as we take on the classic Russian fairy tale about a magic doll, disembodied hand, and a murder skull lamp that puts your lava lamp to shame!

Kaguya: The Suitor Games

Tales From The Enchanted Forest ·

2021/06/09

From tiny bamboo babies to Moon People straight out of a science fiction novel, 10th century Japan was a rough time for our fictional bamboo cutter. His bamboo baby, Princess Kaguya has a hard time too, what with all the available suitors being jerks and her pen pal being the emperor, and don’t forget the casual extraterrestrial exile. Is it comforting knowing that simply living on earth is punishment for other beings?

Hoppin’ Away with Murder: The Frog Prince

Tales From The Enchanted Forest ·

2021/05/26

Casual murder and true crime’s kiss lead to a happy marriage! Who knew? Don’t learn any lessons in this classic tale about breaking promises, pets at the dinner table, and again- murder. We cannot stress that murder, intentional murder, takes place in this story. Oh and there was never a kiss. Whoops. Thanks, Disney.

Tales From The Enchanted Forest ·

2021/05/12

“But, Daddy I love him” and they all lived seafoam ever after. Dive deep with us to explore Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid through a feminist lens, teenage lens, and “I-kinda-want-an immortal-soul” lens! If you were part of the Mermaid Madness in the 2000’s (looking at everyone who was a fan of “Aquamarine” or “Splash”) then you don’t want to miss this episode!

Rumpelstiltskin Meets Fox & Sparrow

Tales From The Enchanted Forest ·

2021/05/12

How does coffee with the King go horribly, horribly wrong, and other musings from the Miller's daughter, including listing names that resemble a shopping list. Join Fox and Sparrow as they get to the root of this Kingdom’s financial problems- which can apparently be saved by a girl with a knack for dealing with strange, small men and 3 rooms full of gold. Greedy Kings, the power of names (and lack of), and a caffeine problem all end in a fantastic story!

1001 Nights of the Bachelor

Tales From The Enchanted Forest ·

2021/05/12

Strange women in chests are no basis of government policy.. or are they. We have A Thousand and One Nights to make sense of this story! Travel to a land far, far, away with us as we cover the framing story of 1001 nights with our cast of eccentric characters including two brothers who have no place being rulers, a storytelling Vizier named Jafar (no, not THAT Jafar) and Fox’s personal heroine, Scheherazade.
