115: Old Jerkin’ It Johnson

Is anyone else having an existential crisis? No? Just us? Well strap in because it's real clear on Fairy Tale Fix this week! Kelsey tells a Swedish fairy tale about how we humans keep having to learn the same lesson of not allowing people to hoard wealth over and over again in The Barrel Bung. Abbie's story also has a strong message about the importance of taking care of people who some might deem unworthy in Japanese folk tale Ubasute-yama (Mother-Rid Hill). Our fix for both stories? Eat the rich.
