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?
I’ve been obsessed with fairytales and retelling for decades. This podcast, which I’ve listened to for years, is my absolute favorite. 20/10, no notes.
Really digestible retelling and cultural commentary. Come for the lore, stay for the banter between hosts
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.
I’ve enjoyed every episode and listened to some a couple of times over. Amazing content and great personalities that keep me listening.
