Starting season two with an original story. In this episode we see the determination of Jonathan who wants to be a writer and would do everything in his power to become one. Even, if it means doing insane things like trying to catch the idea fairy, so that he can always have ideas for his books.
This episode of the podcast features a retelling of an old classic, "The Eagle and tortoise." The tortoise wants to fly and begs the eagle to help him achieve this goal of his.
This episode of the podcast features a retelling of the story of a popular character, "The tooth fairy," and a simple question about her own teeth. This life altering question does not come to a child, but to an adult who has recently taken a little something to take the edge off.
In this episode, the folktale, "The lion and the bore," is retold from the perspective of the vultures. who are merely an audience in the original Aesop's fable.
This is the sixth episode of the altered reality podcast. It features a retelling of an Aesop's fable "The Frogs who desired a king."
This is the fifth episode of the Altered Reality Podcast. In this episode there is a retelling of "The Wolf in the sheep's skin."
This is the fourth episode of the Altered Reality Podcast. It features the retelling of Aesop's fable, "The grasshopper and the ants." The ants were able to survive the winter because they had spent the entire summer preparing, while the grasshopper spent it enjoying. Now, the grasshopper had no food. I will change the story while keeping the framework of the tale the same and see if the story still holds up.
This is the third episode of the altered reality podcast. This episode contains the retelling of the famous race which was held between two unlikely competitors, a tortoise and a hare. I want to change who is perceived as the arrogant animal in this tale by providing a backstory to the race and the reasons for it to take place. Will the lesson from the original story still hold true?
This is the second episode of the Altered Reality Podcast. In this episode, there will be a retelling of the "Pied Piper of Hamelin." We explore a new side of the famous folktale. With the usual attempt at making the antagonist the protagonist, at least attempting to give them more depth then they initially had. With this folktale, what I want to do, is that I want to give the mice of the original story more credit than they are given.
The folktale "three little pigs," gets slight changes made to the character motivation. The characters are still same as the original one. A new side of them is explored and we get to see if the pigs are still protagonists of their own story. Does this new information justify the behavior of the big bad wolf?
