Happy 7th Pod-Anniversary! It has been 7 wonderful years of podcasting about myths, legends, folklore and fables! For this episode we are back to talking about Cinderella tales but this time we're inviting the guys to have some fun being the persecuted ones! Even though the tales in this episode aren't in ATU 510A, they DO have fancy outfit changes, challenging family members, and even some fancy footwear that helps them go from rags to riches. Geoff retells the tale of The Princess on the Glass Hill from Norway and Katrina retells the tale of The Irish Cinderlad, or the Bracket Bull.
