Hello deal listeners! You are still on our hearts and minds and we have recorded stories for you. This episode was done right after the solstice, but I had to get the roof replaced on my house and that delayed the stories getting ready for upload. I hope you enjoy it as Simon Brooks tells "A Tale of Talkers", Rachel Ann Harding tells "The Changeling Child" and Isabelle Hauser tells "Linden Tree Leaves". Support the Show.

Two tellers, one creepy story. Hear the classic tale of "Hansel and Gretel" told by Ingrid Nixon and your intrepid host, Rachel Ann Harding.
I want to apologize to all those who heard my version of Hansel and Gretel without the full episode around it. I realize that this is a dark story and the full episode has a warning at the beginning. I mistakenly uploaded only the story when posting it. I added the full episode when we found the mistake, but it seems that Spotify didn’t take the new file...
