Hey y'all! This week we talk about the inspiration for Disney's Tangled; the story of Rapunzel from the Brothers Grimm. Stories about maidens in towers are ancient but we start to see the version most people are familiar with pop up in Italy in the 1600's. We hope you enjoy learning about this as much as we did!

Rapunzel Disney Edition
This week we talked about Tangled, Disney's version of Rapunzel. Most of us have seen the movie but not everyone knows that Tangled broke a lot of ground in animation and in how Disney Princess stories are told.

Once upon Friday the 13th
This week we've got a special episode for y'all! We talk about the history of Friday the 13th, why Friday is a spooky day and why the number 13 is a scary number (spoiler alert, most of it has to do with Christianity). We hope you enjoy this break from our usual content in honor of spooky season!
