Always a joy to listen to this podcast exploring my favorite topic of fairy tales and retellings. Thank you Drew and Cassie for the magic!

Cassie and Drew explore our favorite fairy tales in such great depth. They analyze, not only the tale, but different adaptations with great insight, knowledge, and hilarity. Binge or find your favorite tale covered for a great time.

Growing up loving fairytales and musical theatre, I’m so glad to finally have an outlet to listen to other people gush about their love for it as well! Drew and Cassie are so knowledgeable on both and I love tuning in every week to hear about adaptations I’m familiar with or learning about other great takes on the monthly tale. I really appreciate their discussions of modern contexts for these famous stories, like consent and adaptations of non-white stories.

Best part of this podcast is how often Cassie threatens to fight people in a Parking lot. Really great and fun podcast

Absolutely LOVE all the work Drew & Cassie put into the podcast. They do an amazing job of diving deep into the lore of the different stories they discuss and love how they talk about both classic and modern versions of each tale. They clearly do their research and it shows in this well polished podcast. Keep up the great work! ✨

If you love fairytales and you love genuinely great people then you will love this podcast!

The passion that Drew and Cassie have for fairytales definitely bleeds through in this podcast. Both of them are very knowledgeable about the lore of the stories themselves, and do excellent analysis comparing different adaptions. Plus their voices are very calming!

I first discovered this podcast through Tumblr and it’s been one of my quarantine go-tos. I love fairy tales and adaptations, and this is a great place to discover some new ones. So far their best has probably been the string of Rapunzel episodes, which not only introduced me to a lot of new takes on the story, but also gave a good look into the tale’s origin from Petrosinella to Persinette to the infamous rewrites that the Grimms did. Admittedly, this is not a history podcast, so it isn’t exactly the place to go to learn more about the stories or probe the psychology of them Bruno Bettelheim-style, but for what it is, it’s a great book review / recommendations podcast that’s helped me through the pandemic. Looking forward to what they’ll cover next! And on the off chance they see this and want suggestions — - Tales from Muppetland: The Frog Prince - “Sexing the Cherry” by Jeanette Winterson - “Gingerbread”, “Boy Snow Bird”, and “What is Not Yours is Not Yours” by Helen Oyeyemi - Tim Burton’s Hansel and Gretel - Lotte Reiniger’s animations (especially Prince Achmed) - Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child - “Haroun and the Sea of Stories” and “Midnight’s Children” by Salman Rushdie - “The Wrath and the Dawn” by Renee Ahdieh - The Wolf House (Chilean “Three Little Pigs” reimagining from 2018)

Every episode is fun and informative. The hosts' enthusiasm for their subject is contagious. I love learning about new versions of these stories and hearing their takes on old favorites, whether they're celebrating a great adaptation or giving a fair and open-minded critique of a flawed one. I've finally caught up and am excited to see what's next!

And cannon movie tales.

I found this podcast through Prince Kai Fan Pod—and boy, am I glad I did!! This podcast is so awesome!! I love learning all about the original versions of fairy tales and hearing how adaptations include elements of them. I love the criteria aspect of it—how the hosts analyze if the adaptations answer questions that the original fairy tales left open-ended. The hosts themselves are so fantastic!! Being a musical theatre kid myself who works at an escape game company and dreams of working at Disney, we have a lot in common and I want to be their friend!! When they discuss things I haven’t read or seen, I feel immersed in the story and don’t want to stop listening, and when they discuss things I have seen/read, I delight in their appreciation of things that I love about that book/movie. Their selections of what to cover are SO diverse and it’s amazing! I could talk about this podcast forever, but instead I’ll just applaud and encourage Cassie and Drew for their marvelously magical podcast and urge anyone who reads this to listen immediately!! ;)

I love fairytales and I love this podcast!!!!! Every Wednesday I get so excited to listen to a new episode. Drew and Cassie have a great rapport, and their fairytale knowledge is impressive. I love the format of the show and exploring different adaptations of stories I have loved for years and that continue to bring me so much joy. Thank you for creating such an amazing podcast!!!

I’m really enjoying this podcast! I’m curious to know if you will also include the following movies as part of your Cinderella discussion: “The Glass Slipper” (1955) with Leslie Caron and Michael Wilding, “The Slipper and the Rose” (1976) with Richard Chamberlain and Gemma Craven?

I first heard about this podcast through Drew’s tumblr and being a fan of fairytale adaptations myself I knew I needed to give this a shot. I’ve highly enjoyed Cinderella month and am looking forward to hearing your critical analysis on Sleeping Beauty and beyond and maybe even discovering new adaptations along the way

These two have somehow made the perfect podcast for me. For the first time of my life, I listened to 40 minutes of podcasters talking and somehow it was over???????? They were done talking?????? And I hadn’t paused 3 times and got distracted by other things?????? truly astounding. They do their research, they’re fun to listen to, and they both love Ella Enchanted. What’s not to like?

Drew & Cassie have such a great background for this podcast! They’ve clearly done a lot of research and they make such a fun duo. I’ve always found fairy tales fascinating and it is so cool to hear them talk about all of the different aspects that go into fairy tales and retellings.

I’m hooked on this podcast! The hosts are bright and engaging, with enough of a difference between them to keep things interesting. I love the structure they have of the podcast and I’m so excited to listen to more!

Such a wonderful look into all things fairytales! Drew and Cassie are great to listen to and really engaging. A must listen to!
