11 - Hairy Parsley and the Half-Blind Prince
<p>If you’ve ever thought your parents were too strict, I have some stories for you that’ll make you realize that it could have been a whole lot worse. We’ve got long-haired ladies locked in looming lofts, longing for a loving lord to liberate them. If everything you know about Rapunzel comes from a certain 2010 animated movie, prepare to have your mind blown, because the original tales about our favorite brave blondie are very different from what you’ve seen before. Prepare for a wild ride on today’s episode of Funklore.</p> <p>Sources:</p> <p>Grimm, J., & Grimm, W. (2012). Rapunzel. In The Brothers Grimm: 101 Fairy Tales (pp. 51–54).

10 - Every Frog Has Its Day
Y’all like frogs, right? Frogs are neat! I’ve never met a frog I didn’t like. Aesop, though, that guy HATED frogs. Almost every story with a frog in it written by Aesop ends with the frog being murdered or mocked ruthlessly. But hopefully we can learn from it, right? Only one way to find out! Tune in today and learn from the mistakes of all of our frogs friends so that you don’t have to learn the lessons the hard way.

9 - Teach a Fish to Man
<p>The land and the ocean are two vastly different worlds. Hans Christian Andersen explored the idea of journeying from one to the other, in his story “The Little Mermaid.” But is the tale of the Little Mermaid everything it’s grown to be known for? Are there catchy musical numbers and a happy ending with a royal wedding? Maybe, but maybe not! Check out this episode to learn more about the beautiful little mermaid and her quest to gain an immortal soul, featuring the ghost of Mr. Andersen himself and an episode of the hit TV show “Cooking With Crones.” Don’t miss it!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sources:</p> <p><a href="http://hca.gilead.org.il/li_merma.html"><u>http://hca.gilead.org.il/li_merma.html</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.galbithink.org/names/85f10-19.txt"><u>https://www.galbithink.org/names/85f10-19.txt</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen#Love_life"><u>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_(statue)"><u>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_(statue)</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid"><u>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermaid"><u>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermaid</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merman"><u>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merman</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://askbirdbloggers.tumblr.com/post/94021298079/is-it-bad-do-mouth-feed-birds-my-budgie-always-wants"><u>https://askbirdbloggers.tumblr.com/post/94021298079/is-it-bad-do-mouth-feed-birds-my-budgie-always-wants</u></a></p> <p>Various pieces by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)</p> <p>Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License</p> <p>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</p> <p><br></p> <p>Created, written, and recorded by Justin Bouck</p> <p>Album art and custom music bed created by Joshua Andrus</p> <p>Distributed by Anchor</p>
