Sweetheart Roland - how sweet exactly?
31/10/2019 Duração: 11minThis Grimm's tale again has little to recommend it from a feminist standpoint, so I won't. However I think it's my third story in a row where I get to use my beheading sound effect and the first time I've added a dash of Bossa Nova as well as a celtic folk song snippet! Happy Halloween you lovely creepy people! If you like this podcast, pretty please write me a review! xxo

The Little Match Girl
31/12/2018 Duração: 07minA short story by Hans Christian Anderson about a little girl dying of cold in the streets on New Years Eve. This was another favorite of mine as a child, I think it gave me the opportunity to have a little cry in the midst of a season that was as dark as it was candle filled. Back then I couldn't even fathom how people could walk past her and not help? Is it possible we can go into 2019 taking better care of the children at home and around the world? https://www.savethechildren.org/
