129: Bad Person, Good Character Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

The Boy and the Dragon & The Dragon Princess

We are keeping the dragon stories coming this week! Kelsey kicks off this episode with The Boy and the Dragon, likely originally by the Micmac and Blackfoot indigenous peoples of Canada, written down by Cyrus Macmillan. Abbie follows it up by taking us deep into the sea, where she reads The Dragon Princess, a Chinese tale that has everything Abbie’s been hoping for in a dragon story, minus the story part. It’s a good thing we’re here to fix it.

128: We Have Two Problems Here Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

Stan Bolovan & Auld Cruivie

We’re back, baby! Rested, hydrated, and ready to make all your dreams come true: specifically the Dragon and Scary Tree related ones. Abbie kicks things off with the Romanian tale of Stan Bolovan from RMS’s Book of Dragons, followed immediately by Kelsey’s telling of Scottish folktale Auld Cruivie. We are confused but pleased to say that for once…the men are alright!

PATREON PREVIEW Bonus Episode 18: The Justice Order Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

PATREON PREVIEW Bonus Episode 18: The Justice Order

In this previous Patreon-exclusive bonus episode, coming soon to a theater near you is the tale of THE JUSTICE ORDER – Seven kickass strangers will band together to fight for what’s right in Germany of yore. Or that’s what Abbie and Kelsey wish anyway for the continuation of The Brothers Grimm fairy tale The Six Servants. After that, we finally get a story where the prince actually does something himself, and deserves his rewards in the Ruth Manning-Sanders gem, Stupid Head.

Fairy Tale Fix will return in August 2026.

Show notes

The Donkey Lettuce & The Sun Takes An Oath

In this previous Patreon-exclusive bonus episode, Kelsey reads The Donkey Lettuce that follows a sweet young hunter that finds out the hard way that witches always be schemin’. Meanwhile, Abbie tells us a really unsatisfying creationism story, The Sun Takes An Oath.

Fairy Tale Fix will return in August 2026.

Show notes

The Wedding of Mrs. Fox & The Leeshy Cat and The Snake’s Treasure

Strap in for a Jumbo Sized #HotGoblinSummer kick off as Kelsey tells the unhinged Grimm’s fairy tale, The Wedding of Mrs. Fox, and then a listener recommendation from our favorite: Ruth Manning-Sanders, The Leeshy Cat. Abbie finishes up perfectly for our summer break and leaves you with The Snake’s Treasure.

126: A Serious Case of Gender Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

The Twelve Huntsmen & The Unicorn (“El Oricuerno”)

A very happy Pride to you and yours! This episode is all about gender and kissing the people you want to, with a little vengeance sprinkled on top. Abbie recounts the Brothers’ Grimm tale of The Twelve Huntsman, which is a story about true love, disguise, the supposed gender binary, and a lion that’s either trolling hard or deeply anxious about all of it. Kelsey follows after with a Spanish fairy tale: The Unicorn, a magical story about community gender anxiety, disguise, true love, and more hunting.

125: I Am Never Going To See A Merman feat. Madeleine Lammel May 29, 2026

Show notes

Yael & Mulwarra and The Weeping Mermaid of Loch Assynt & The Scottish Mermaid of Galloway

For this MerMay episode, we’re joined by a very special guest, Madeleine Lammel, Abbie’s sibling! Madeleine tells us the most romantic fairy tale we’ve ever heard on the pod, the Australian tale Yael and Murlwarra. Kelsey follows it up with two Scottish mermaid tales, The Weeping Mermaid of Loch Assynt and The Scottish Mermaid of Galloway. The question is, are these mermaids girly-pop, tragic, or scary? There’s only three kinds of mermaids, you know.

124: Hollywood, Are You Listening?? feat. Chadwick Heiberg May 19, 2026

Show notes

The Siren’s Hunger, The Sea Remembers, & Rake Up!

It’s MerMay and we’re joined once again by our very own mystic siren, Chadwick Heiberg! Chadwick’s lifelong love of the sea brings two very satisfying mermaid tales (ha, get it?) for MerMay, starting with The Siren’s Hunger, where a familiar character returns but is forever changed – then a new kind of tale called The Sea Remembers, a timely reminder to respect our natural resources. Then, Abbie finishes with a Ruth Manning-Sanders story we can’t believe we haven’t read on the podcast yet, Rake Up! where a mermaid and her good friend Mark get their vengeance, as mermaids do.

Show notes

Jack the Giant Killer

Romance! Bloodlust! Two Headed Giants! Three Headed Giants! Demons! Cool names! Kelsey tells the Cornish legend of Jack the Giant Killer this episode, and it is everything. And yet, it still needed the Fixtresses help to add Feminism/Lesbians/More Epicness/One crucial renaming. Good thing for all of you we were here.
