The Steadfast Tin Soldier (Bonus Minisode #1)
In the Stories from the Hearth minisode series - normally exclusive to Patreon - Calum reads a classic story from the public domain; be it fable, fairy-tale, or moral; European, or International. Sometimes they perform them as they were first told, sometimes they rewrite them in their own style, and sometimes they perform bits and pieces from their own body of work. In minisode one, they read The Steadfast Tin Soldier by Hans Christian Andersen; a tale of love and heartbreak, adventure and betrayal, first published in 1838, and as affecting today as it was then.
Stories from the Hearth minisodes are exclusive to Patreon, where the reading of a new bonus story will be released monthly. To gain access to every minisode, as well as a slew of other exciting perks, consider supporting the podcast by becoming a patron: https://www.patreon.com/storiesfromthehearthpodcast
