Hello, I'm Micah (Knob Twister), a host from the podcast you're about to fill your ear holes with. My co-host Dustin (Sofa Sitter) and I research, read, and discuss fairy tales worldwide. The episodes are 60% fun, 10% educational, and 37% crazy. But, alas, all good things do end, and Tales of Bedlam disappeared for a few years. We are replaying all old episodes through June 2024. Come July 2024, we will release new and never-before-heard episodes. Enjoy the show.
