11 - Hairy Parsley and the Half-Blind Prince
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. Sources: Grimm, J., & Grimm, W. (2012). Rapunzel. In The Brothers Grimm: 101 Fairy Tales (pp. 51–54). Canterbury Classics.

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
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!

7 - Thinking Outside the Fox
We've all done things we weren't supposed to do, or neglected to do things that we were supposed to do. Maybe we forget to clean our room, or we eat too much fast food, or we make a mistake in our work. Now imagine if there was a talking animal there to be disappointed in you every time you had a shortcoming. If you're one of the characters in today's stories, you don't have to imagine! Find out what's so special about golden birds, why you should listen to talking foxes, and how exactly you can wind up with three different death sentences in one week, only on today's episode of Funklore!

6 - Let Sleeping Dames Lie
Many people love the story of Sleeping Beauty, but most don't know about its slightly disturbing origins. Where did Sleeping Beauty originate, and what caused the changes in the tale? Are spinning wheels as dangerous as these tales would have you believe? Is Charles Perrault's version the best one? Spoiler alert: It is.

5 - The Secret to Sixcess
Ever wish you had super powers? Or at least had friends who had superpowers? Well, here’s your chance to live vicariously through the people in today’s tales! You thought the Avengers and the Justice League were the first stories of superhero team-ups? Nope! Hundreds of years earlier, we had the tales of the Six Servants, How Six Men Made Their Way in the World, and Long, Broad, and Sharpsight.

4 - Old Rinkrank
Glass is beautiful. It's been used to build a lot of things. Ever seen stained glass windows? Those things are super neato. But most people would never think to build a mountain out of glass, and anyone who may have had that passing thought likely dismissed it just as quickly as it arrived. That apparently was not the case back in the olden times, when a glass mountain sounded like a phenomenal premise for a story. And I'm glad it did, otherwise we never would have been blessed with the strange and disturbing tale of Old Rinkrank. Have a laugh today, and when you tuck your children into bed tonight, warn them of the dangers of Old Rinkrank after today's episode of Funklore.

3 - A Rumpel By Any Other Stiltskin
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” While Juliet may have meant this line in a more metaphorical, why-couldn’t-you-be-anything-other-than-a-Montague type of way, it takes on a bit more literal meaning when we start talking about Rumpelstiltskin and his baby-stealing antics. Come with me and learn what IS in a name, especially a strange name like Rumpy’s, in this week’s wisdom and whimsy-filled episode of Funklore.

2 - Targeted Catvertising 101
Are you a cat lover? Well, whether the answer to that question is yes or no, this story is for you! Come along as I relay the tale of the “Three Sons of Fortune'' and their miraculous (and frankly, ridiculous) methods of making money, and then smile at the heartwarming English tale of Dick Whittington and his cat. So let’s hear some unofficial infomercials, fire a cannon into a cornfield, and find out exactly what makes cats so dangerous to small island kingdoms, only in this week’s episode of Funklore.
