#SwampWitchSummer is officially over and we’re back to give you some extremely WTF fairy tales!

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/07/25

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/07/11

In this patreon preview, Kelsey reads some pure Danish nightmare fuel that somehow turns wholesome in Merman Rosmer by Ruth Manning-Sanders, and Abbie reads a poetic Scottish tale that had more potential in The Fisherman and The Merman and also reads The Toad Bride from the Turnip Princess.

67: Are You Mad At Me??

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/06/27

To close out Pride Month 2023, Abbie tells the story of The Princess Who Would Be A Prince, a story with a serious case of gender. Come for the magician horses and the crossdressing and gender-swapping, stay for the chamois, which is definitely a type of light footed goat.

66: Yes, Even You

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/06/13

We decided to treat ourselves, and you, to some truly WTF stories to kick this Pride Month off! Abbie tells the Swedish tale of Prince Lindworm, a guy you're totally on board with, until you're very not. Kelsey follows up with a cautionary tale about believing too much in your dreams, The Daydreamer, and then the pièce de résistance of our episode: the Wintu story of the Rolling Head. You will be uncomfortable. And that's by design.

65: Mad Girl Mermaid

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/05/30

Move over Sad Girl Mermaid, you’ve gotten enough attention. We’re in our Mad Girl Mermaid era now, with Kelsey telling the origin story of the Mermaid of Warsaw. Or we’re possibly in our Fancy Girl Mermaid era, as Kelsey follows that story up with a tale about Nigerian water goddess/benevolent fish giver Mami Wata. Finally, Abbie gives us all a Greedy Girl Mermaid with The Nixie in the Pond, but we never learn enough about her to know if we want her to be a whole era.

2023/05/16

We explore the three types of mermaid in the first #MerMay episode of 2023, with two Filipino folktales from Abbie: The Litao and Serena, and The American and The Sirena. Later, the Ivan Cinematic Universe (ICU) is expanded with the true origin story of the mermaid from Episode One’s The Magic Lake when Kelsey tells the tale of Long John and the Mermaid.

Ahoy, matey! Prepare yourself for rough winds ahead on our pirate-themed episode! Steering us into merMay Kelsey hoists her hope sails high for piratey nonsense in The Cock with the Golden Feathers by Ruth Manning-Sanders. Then, prepare for Abbie to shiver your timbers with a haunting listener-recommended tale of Black Bartelmy’s Ghost.

62: Respect His Dibs!

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/04/11

On Fairy Tale Fix we believe in the Ancient and Sacred Right of Dibs, and so does everyone in the Swedish story Kelsey reads: The Troll Ride. Next, Abbie celebrates not having to be in the U.S. or at work by reading the Malaysian fairy tale: The Fairy Princess of Ledang Mountain.

It's the end of Irish fairy tale month, and we've got some good ones! Abbie reads a short story just for Kelsey called The Talking Cat, then follows it up with another story just for Kelsey, The Giant’s Stairs. Kelsey gets spooky and reads a tale from the banshee section called Hanlon’s Mill.

60: Right Place, Right Time, Every Time

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/03/14

It’s March and that means Irish fairy tales ALL MONTH LONG! Kelsey kicks us off with Ethna The Bride, a tale about a man who will hire other people to do ANYTHING for love while he watches. Then Abbie reads The Brewery of Eggshells, which is somehow creepy AND light-hearted at the same time.

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/02/28

A skull from the spirit world catfishes the hottest, vainest girl in Cobham Town, Nigeria in Abbie’s story this week: The Disobedient Daughter Who Married a Skull. Kelsey tells a tale from Ghana called Friends For a Time we discover why humans and lions aren’t friends anymore, followed up by the Liberian story The Leopard, which we don’t want to spoil but will just say that every woman in the world is magic.

58: Murder Ballad ft. Textual Tension

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/02/14

It’s Valentine's Day - do you need a break from the gooey romantic vibes? Rachel and Margie from Textual Tension come on the pod to share a 1700s murder ballad (The Twa Sisters, or Bonne Swans), and the Japanese fairy tale that was the inspiration for an InuYasha villain (The Bamboo Hewer). The sexual tension is nil, and the romance is unrequited (at best) in this hilarious episode.

57: No Chicken For You!

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/01/31

Foxy Prince Peterlin makes the most of his pretty privilege with the help of a thirsty granny giant in Kelsey’s story this week: The Three Golden Hairs of the King of the Cave Giants! Abbie follows up with the tale of a highly relatable man who just wants to eat dinner in peace: The Hungry Peasant, God, and Death.

56: God Dammit Susan

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/01/17

We’re here for satisfaction ONLY on this episode of Fairy Tale Fix. In pursuit of a magical horse story that actually contains a magical horse Abbie tells the Russian folktale The Straw Horse. Kelsey follows up with The Witches on the Lake, from Scotland, and while the end of the story itself is trash we think you’ll find we fixed it pretty perfectly.

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2023/01/03

We are joined by a very special guest, Sequoia Simone of podcasts But Make It Scary and Fanatical Fics and Where to Find Them! Sequoia keeps our “wintertime is for Hans Christian Andersen” theme going with the very cute story of Thumbelina, which surprises us by how NOT sad it is, and Abbie tells the Chinese story of Li Chi Slays The Serpent.

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2022/11/22

Abbie & Kelsey record an episode of Fairy Tale Fix IN PERSON! Together! In the same room!! We have a ton of fun recording under a big blanket fort in Abbie’s house, and Kelsey rolls some dice for her story, Dough, which is a very random tale about a witch’s obsession with an eternal dough-based object, probably. Abbie reads from A Book of Magic Horses and rolls dice for a tale called Master Billy, which leaves us very disappointed and wondering… where is the magic horse!?

52: U Mad Bro?

Fairy Tale Fix ·

2022/11/07

STRAP IN FOR THIS ONE. These might be the worst tales we’ve ever told on the podcast, so please heed the trigger warnings. Very special guest and longtime listener Angel from Fantastic Worlds Pod joins us to tell us the ghostly tale of La Llorona, and Abbie tells the worst story we’ve ever heard on the pod–Don’t Get Mad. Spoiler alert, you’re gonna get mad.

And Abbie reads a Seneca folk tale, The Vampire Skeleton, that needs to become the latest indigenous horror hit following Prey (are you listening, Hollywood?).
