Amy Stephenson and Casey Childers are writers who like to tell stories. So we're telling each other fairy tales the way they were meant to be heard—deeply editorialized and with plenty of commentary (and cursing). New episode every Tuesday. Join us at Patreon.com/OldWivesPod for essays and sources.
It's a two-parter finale, so strap in. First, we've got Casey in Denmark to find a prince who uses his alt account to lure the disillusioned idealist princess who doesn't want to marry. Then, we've got Amy in Russia where a third sister disappears, and the entire town follows the prophecy of a pipe whistle foretelling her return. The important thing is, now more than ever: this is Old Wives.

My Guitar Gently Reaps
We're in Poland today where three Sons make their barebones living ferrying people across a river. The youngest gets a purse that's always full, and a mermaid wife to boot, and it's all coming up roses for a minute. That is, until the local king decides to send him on a few errands. Join us for a collection of side-quests in the shape of a story that ends with some truly spectacular comeuppance.

Go To Horny Jail
Today we're in Sicily for a spicy tale about a gullible eldest brother with a purse that's always full of gold. His intended yoinks it, leaving him poor and bereft, but lucky for him, he's got two other brothers with magical items he can borrow. She takes those off him too, though, and it seems like curtains for him until he lands in a mysterious fig tree with fruit that just might help him get his fortune and his fiance back.
