104: Billy The Don, Billy The Dean, Billy Supreme, Wisp King
It’s the end of Irish fairy tale month, and we've got two exciting tales to send it off in style! Abbie starts us off with Billy Duff and the Devil, a story about a lovable drunkard who gets up to all sorts of devilish mischief. Then, Kelsey sends us off with The Leprechaun's Trick, a proper Irish classic. Grab a pint and settle in!

103: You’re Sucking All The Fun Out
Finally, it's our favorite time of the year – Irish fairy tale month! FOUR for the price of two!!! Turn down the lights and pretend it's raining because Kelsey tells two ghostly tales perfect for a dark and stormy night; Sheela-Na-Skean and The Dreamhouse. Then, Abbie follows it up with two very cool Irish creation/mythology stories Fintan MacBochra and The River Shannon.

102: The Crabfather
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.

101: Comment Neptune
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.

100: Cinderella: Let Her Die
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.
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.
