“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!

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.

The Frog Prince: A Grimm Tale

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.

This story about a Princess hoppin' away with murder is from the Brother's Grimm. Originally titled: Der Froschkönig oder der eiseme Heinrich.
