Love these guys. Hilarious group, and I feel wise and cultured after listening to them.
Description
Once Upon a Podcast is the ultimate destination for anyone who loves fairy tales, myths, and folklore (or just a good story!). In each episode, we take a deep dive into classic tales, explore their often twisted origins, and uncover the dark, macabre themes lurking beneath the surface. Joe and Matthew explore why these stories were written the way they were, what they reveal about the time they came from, and how they continue to shape our world today. It's a perfect blend of casual conversation, humor, and a dash of history that’ll leave you with new insights (and probably a few laughs) every week.
New episodes are released every other Tuesday at 7 am ET :)
