The Wedding of Mrs. Fox & The Leeshy Cat and The Snake’s Treasure

Strap in for a Jumbo Sized #HotGoblinSummer kick off as Kelsey tells the unhinged Grimm’s fairy tale, The Wedding of Mrs. Fox, and then a listener recommendation from our favorite: Ruth Manning-Sanders, The Leeshy Cat. Abbie finishes up perfectly for our summer break and leaves you with The Snake’s Treasure.

126: A Serious Case of Gender

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 04:00:00 +0000

The Twelve Huntsmen & The Unicorn (“El Oricuerno”)

A very happy Pride to you and yours! This episode is all about gender and kissing the people you want to, with a little vengeance sprinkled on top. Abbie recounts the Brothers’ Grimm tale of The Twelve Huntsman, which is a story about true love, disguise, the supposed gender binary, and a lion that’s either trolling hard or deeply anxious about all of it. Kelsey follows after with a Spanish fairy tale: The Unicorn, a magical story about community gender anxiety, disguise, true love, and more hunting.

125: I Am Never Going To See A Merman feat. Madeleine Lammel

Fri, 29 May 2026 15:45:00 +0000

Yael & Mulwarra and The Weeping Mermaid of Loch Assynt & The Scottish Mermaid of Galloway

For this MerMay episode, we’re joined by a very special guest, Madeleine Lammel, Abbie’s sibling! Madeleine tells us the most romantic fairy tale we’ve ever heard on the pod, the Australian tale Yael and Murlwarra. Kelsey follows it up with two Scottish mermaid tales, The Weeping Mermaid of Loch Assynt and The Scottish Mermaid of Galloway. The question is, are these mermaids girly-pop, tragic, or scary? There’s only three kinds of mermaids, you know.

124: Hollywood, Are You Listening?? feat. Chadwick Heiberg

Tue, 19 May 2026 04:00:00 +0000

The Siren’s Hunger, The Sea Remembers, & Rake Up!

It’s MerMay and we’re joined once again by our very own mystic siren, Chadwick Heiberg! Chadwick’s lifelong love of the sea brings two very satisfying mermaid tales (ha, get it?) for MerMay, starting with The Siren’s Hunger, where a familiar character returns but is forever changed – then a new kind of tale called The Sea Remembers, a timely reminder to respect our natural resources. Then, Abbie finishes with a Ruth Manning-Sanders story we can’t believe we haven’t read on the podcast yet, Rake Up! where a mermaid and her good friend Mark get their vengeance, as mermaids do.

Jack the Giant Killer

Romance! Bloodlust! Two Headed Giants! Three Headed Giants! Demons! Cool names! Kelsey tells the Cornish legend of Jack the Giant Killer this episode, and it is everything. And yet, it still needed the Fixtresses help to add Feminism/Lesbians/More Epicness/One crucial renaming. Good thing for all of you we were here.

The Spinners of Blessings & The Abhartach

It’s Irish fairy tale month (AKA the best time of the year)! Abbie reads an old Irish folk tale that’s sure to bring a happy tear to your eye with The Spinners of Blessings. Then we take a sharp turn with Kelsey’s dark Irish folk tale, The Abhartach, thought to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac & The Girl with the Horse’s Head/The Silkworm Goddess & The Fiddler in Hell

Happy Lunar New Year! Abbie celebrates the onset of the Year of the Horse (her people!) with telling the tale of how the Chinese Zodiac came to be in the first place, followed up with a timeless horse trope here on Fairy Tale Fix with The Girl With The Horse’s Head (another excellent Chinese fairy tale). Kelsey follows up with another great FTF staple involving rich people being in hell: The Fiddler in Hell.

The Legend of Poinsettia & Twelve by the Mail and The Snail and the Rosebush

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Come gather around the yule log and listen to some holiday tales: one with a big dose of colonialism (boo) before our favorite sad bisexual Victorian boy (yay!), Hans Christian Andersen brings the mood up for a change. Abbie tells a Mexican Christmas story about the poinsettia, or as we shall call it henceforth, cuetlaxōchitl (kwet-lah-SHO-shee-tl). Kelsey closes out 2025 with HCA’s new year’s tale, The Twelve Who Came by Mail, followed by The Snail and the Rosebush as a reminder to all of us to keep blooming and pay those who refuse no mind. Happy Holidays and see you next year!

The Barrel Bung & Ubasute-yama (Mother-Rid Hill)

Is anyone else having an existential crisis? No? Just us? Well strap in because it’s real clear on Fairy Tale Fix this week! Kelsey tells a Swedish fairy tale about how we humans keep having to learn the same lesson of not allowing people to hoard wealth over and over again in The Barrel Bung. Abbie’s story also has a strong message about the importance of taking care of people who some might deem unworthy in Japanese folk tale Ubasute-yama (Mother-Rid Hill). Our fix for both stories? Eat the rich.

We love an unplanned theme! This week on Fairy Tale Fix, we’re keeping busy with Abbie reading an Italian folk tale called The Man Who Only Came Out At Night, a story that’s barely about that man at all. Kelsey then reads a Scottish fairy tale entitled A Box of Fairies, where a smitten young lad is given very specific instructions, and do you think he follows them?

Fairy Tale Fix is back! This week we thank our listeners for your patience as we navigate the loss of our good friend and podcast editor & producer, Dustin. We miss you dearly, buddy. Abbie reads a story that would have tickled him pink–Ride A Cockhorse to Banbury Cross, and follows it up with a tale about putting yourself first and taking that well-deserved nap, The Giantess’ Burden.

102: The Crabfather

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 05:00:00 +0000

The Demon’s Daughter & The Quarrel of the Monkey and the Crab

We are back this week with more shenanigans and WTF fairy tales for you! After a quick chat about our favorite mascots (AKA Crazy Crab who delights and horrifies), Abbie reads The Demon’s Daughter, a tale that honestly could use a little more demon stuff in it. Kelsey then reads from her new book Japanese Folktales, The Quarrel of the Monkey and the Crab which shall be known hence forth as The Crabfather.

The Ruby Prince & A Dragon’s Favor

Can we offer you some WTF Fairy Tales in these trying and completely precedented times? Abbie and Kelsey are in an altered state of multiple kinds after the winter break, as is the title character of the Punjabi fairy tale The Ruby Prince! The title character of China’s A Dragon’s Favor is chill as hell though – maybe too chill.

Tue, 24 Dec 2024 05:00:00 +0000

Cinderella

Come celebrate with us as we bring you our 100th episode of Fairy Tale Fix! We mark this momentous occasion with the tale that’s been told 100 million times and counting–the transformation queen, the midnight majesty, the bippity-boppiest of them all, Cinderella. Abbie reads the Brother’s Grimm version for a fun twist on the tale, and Kelsey gives our former friend James Finn Garner a chance at redemption with his politically correct version.

The Nine Doves & The Lad Who Went to the North Wind

December is the time of year we all collectively reach the end of our mental ropes and get to stop thinking – but Kelsey clearly didn’t get the memo! Fairy tale architecture and the decisions of kings are questioned when Abbie reads the Greek tale of The Nine Doves, followed by Kelsey’s reading of the Norse tale The Lad Who Went to The North Wind (a super chill dude actually).

The Selfish Giant & The Ogre, The Sun, and the Raven

Today’s episode brought to you by existential dread! Kelsey regales the overly sappy fairy tale The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde—but don’t worry, she’s got a delightfully unhinged fix for our collective mood. Meanwhile, Abbie shares the indigenous (most likely Haida) folk tale The Ogre, the Sun, and the Raven, retold by Ruth Manning-Sanders. (That’s sun, not son.)

It’s still spooky season in our hearts (and IRL apparently but let’s not focus on that)! Abbie regales three cautionary tales about traveling through bogs (which are always scary), and Kelsey recounts more millennial folklore with Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

Little Snow White

It’s Halloween–time for spooky forests, creepy disguises, and taking sweets from strangers. What better fairy tale than the classic Brothers Grimm Snow White & The Seven Dwarves?? In this episode, Kelsey retells the classic SW tale, and Abbie reads the somehow even more chilling politically correct version. Strap in because this episode gets REAL spooky. Seriously…wtf???

Well, we’ve finally wandered through the forest enough to run into the same witch twice. After Abbie starts to read the same story Kelsey read last episode, she turns to a cold reading of Esben and the Witch by our favorite fairy tale queen Ruth Manning-Sanders. Then, Kelsey follows it up with a short story called Tripple-Trapple from one of the newest RMS releases, A Book of Devils and Demons.

Hear how they fix the Eswatini legend of Nya-Nya Bulembu and the Portuguese tale of The Ugly Princess in this episode, and remember: your looks are the least interesting thing about you.

Snow White and Rose Red & The Turnip

Before the folktale readings even begin, Kelsey and Abbie share stories from their misbegotten youths that are the opposite of fairy tale perfection. After the drama, Kelsey follows up with the classic Brothers Grimm tale of Snow White……..and Rose Red! Gotcha. Abbie finishes us off with a story (also from the BG’s) that reads like two pages accidentally got stuck together: The Turnip.

ROSES HAVE THORNS! Kelsey reads The Rose Elf from our favorite bisexual disaster, Hans Christian Andersen, which starts off like a true fairy tale and then takes a sharp turn toward horror story. Abbie gets argumentative and reads African folk tale The Contest of Riddles, giving listeners the opportunity to argue amongst themselves whether or not Kelsey got any points or not for her predictions.

Abbie follows up with the PC version from Politically Correct Bedtime Stories by James Finn Garner, and capstones it all off with the PC version of Red Riding Hood. Garner really posed the ultimate fix there, whether he meant to or not.

75: Insignificant Slippers

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 05:00:00 +0000

Rova & The Dead Mother and Andromeda Dances

Abbie continues our dive into Little Red Riding Hood by reading the Algerian version called Rova. You won’t find this tale in English anywhere else (probably)! Kelsey says goodbye to spooky Halloween with the Russian tale The Dead Mother and takes a sharp turn into a happily ever after with Ruth Manning-Sanders’ Andromeda Dances (without her insignificant slippers).

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 04:00:00 +0000

Little Red Riding Hood & The Tiger Aunt

If you gave Red Riding Hood a nickel every time a wolf tried to eat her, she’d have two nickels. Not a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice right? Kelsey finally gets to tell her favorite childhood fairy tale, and surprises Abbie with the sequel she never knew existed! After that, Abbie tells the Taiwanese folktale of Aunt Tiger – a badass immortal witch who comes with sweets and an appetite for children.

Damsels are slightly distressed in this episode, but they freaking HANDLE it. First Abbie tells the Punjabi tale of Bopoluchi, a fierce and proud young woman with nerves of steel and a license to kill (that she gave herself). Next, Kelsey recounts the German story of the Maiden With No Hands, whose superpower is a good head on her shoulders and great boundaries.

#SwampWitchSummer is officially over and we’re back to give you some extremely WTF fairy tales! Kelsey fulfills her promise of making everyone uncomfortable with the indigenous Ponca-Otoe tale Teeth In The Wrong Places, and lightens it up a bit with indigenous Flathead folk tale Coyote Kills the Giant.

The Princess Who Would Be A Prince

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.

Prince Lindworm & The Daydreamer and Rolling Head

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.

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.

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.

Dough and Master Billy

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!?

47: Swan Justice

Tue, 30 Aug 2022 03:40:00 +0000

The Stars in the Sky & The Wounded Swan

We got a new book, River Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland by Lisa Schneidau and it is FILLED with some fantastic stories. Kelsey reads some poetic nonsense that leaves us feeling dreamy with The Stars in the Sky, and Abbie reads a much darker but super cathartic tale The Wounded Swan. Moral of this episode? Don’t eff with swans. Ever.

Johnny And The Witch Maidens & Herr Fix It Up

It’s random reading time and Abbie reads Johnny And The Witch Maidens which sounds sexy and is but in an unexpected way, and Kelsey reads Herr Fix It Up which is like the off-brand version of The White Snake, with even more horse murder than before.

We’re back, baby! Join us for a super-sized episode of Fairy Tale Fix with Abbie reading the framework tale for 1,001 Nights (also known as The Arabian Nights) with the wildly serial killer-esque story of Scheherazade (which we have a brilliant fix for), and Kelsey reads the incredibly long but oh-so-classic Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.

Instructions & The Crane Wife & A Tale With A Riddle & The Golden Key

In this episode, we’re joined by Robbie from the Could’ve Been Heroes podcast! Robbie actually brings us to tears (well, at least Abbie) when he reads Instructions by Neil Gaiman, and then reads us one of his favorite tales The Crane Wife (in which someone definitely doesn’t follow important fairy tale instructions). Abbie randomly chooses a couple of stories from the Brothers Grimm and reads A Tale With A Riddle and The Golden Key.

Fairy Tale Fix Trailer

Mon, 14 Sep 2020 18:57:03 +0000

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young maiden with a face so fair and voice so eloquent no one could help but adore her. And, oh ho! Did she have a friend! But unbeknownst to the maiden, her good friend was a witch.

They spent long days together in their youth, sipping wine and drinking ale at their local taverns while telling each other stories of other beautiful maidens and evil witches and helpful dragons and cats who are actually trolls, all while drunkenly laughing to each other about such wonderful tales, and how they could be fixed for the modern ear.

Welcome to Fairy Tale Fix! A podcast for the modern maiden, clever lad, evil witch, frog prince, mischievous faerie, or what have you. Tune in every other Tuesday for fanciful tales between two friends.
