  • I LOVE LOVE LOVE this podcast.

    I usually listen on Spotify, but I am not sure you see reviews over there, so I’m putting this here. I get so excited when I realize you have a new podcast out!! I usually love to play to previous ones while I’m sleeping as my “white noise”. Where can I find your past “6 years worth” of podcasts?

  • Excellent podcast!

    Geoff and Katrina are the perfect hosts. Not only do they make me laugh, but they share new and interesting facts about well-known and lesser-known fairy tales. The weird ones are my favorite. This is a perfect podcast, and would be even more perfect with more lore about Andy.
