A podcasting quintet who read stories from the Grimm's fairy tales and then proceed to pull them apart. We also write stories in the Grimm's style based on events that have actually (no, really) happened in our lives.
A well know story but not as you remember it! The Grimms pull it out of the bag (or the wolf in this case) with not-for-kids gore.
Davemustardface voices the wolf, Bananananks is Red and Novadoam narrates.
We also have a Real 2 the Breal from Katepaintpots.

Snow White - A Basic Dumb Bitch

The Strange Feast/The Mother-in-Law/How Some Children Played at Slaughtering - Basically how people are bloody awful.
This podcast is all about delving deeper into children's tales, to discover that they actually aren't what they first seem. Some are darker, some are darker still. We choose ones we like the title of and one of us reads the story whilst the other adds comedic input.
In this episode we pick apart three odd and relatively unheard of Grimm's tales.
The Strange Feast
The Mother-in-Law
How Some Children Played at Slaughtering
