F*cked Up Fairy Tales: The Podcast

Season 3, Episode 1: Forget About the Grimm! German Folktales beyond Grimm's Kinder- und Hausmärchen 

This episode features several folktales translated by Jürgen Hubert for his folktale collection Sunken Castles, Evil Poodles: Commentaries on German Folklore.

Jürgen is so generous to publish his translations in the public domains so that storytellers and writers can adapt at will.  The collection is a delight, as is his follow-up of ghost stories, Lurkers at the Threshold: 100 Ghost Tales from German Folklore.

In thanks, I've provided a link to my Patreon podcast episode adapted from his translations so he can share it with his friends and fans. Enjoy!

More about Jürgen and his work can be found at his homepage!
