Legends 54: Fairytale (ad-free)

Humans have spent a very long time collecting and sharing specific tales. But just because the most popular ones are bright and cheerful doesn’t mean the rest are without shadows.

Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by Alex Robinson and research by Jamie Vargas and GennaRose Nethercott.
