Hello Harpies! I saw you blogging/tweeting about the french BatB which has made me hope that maybe someday you’ll do an episode about rewritten fairy tales…? Should this ever happen (please) I recommend watching the 2015 movie Tale of Tales (twisted, sensual and very dark) and my favourite collection of reworked fairy tales: Tanith Lee’s Red as Blood. The latter features among other well known stories the tale of a Rapunzel who is claimed by a dark god and a futuristic BatB. Happy podcasting!

Hi, thanks for the recs! All of those sound great.

We’re very much looking forward to recording a Beauty & the Beast episode with @corseque this week, where we’ll definitely cover some iterations of that specific fairy tale and we have Rapunzel episode coming out fairly soon as well. 

We’ll probably cover re-tellings as we go, on a story by story basis (i.e., variations of BatB) as opposed to discussing re-tellings as a whole in one episode. We can go more in-depth that way and cover more ground.

Thanks for listening!
