About this listen
In this episode of Grab Your Brew, hosts Leanne and Jodie delve into the dark and often uncomfortable themes of family secrets as portrayed in classic fairy tales. They explore the narratives of 'The Girl Without Hands', 'The Fur-Coated Runaway Bride', 'Rapunzel', and 'The Frog King', discussing the underlying themes of trauma, female desire, and the moral lessons imposed by the Grimms. The conversation highlights how these tales have been sanitized over time, stripping away their original horror and complexity, while also reflecting on the societal implications of these stories.
