The Buf team welcomes Big Brain Smart Head™ author, editor, podcaster, commentator, wife, and stay-at-home mom Faith Moore to the show to discuss her books and podcast.Faith discusses her book "Saving Cinderella — What Feminists Get Wrong About Disney Princesses And How To Set It Right", a scholarly look into a consistent and helpful way to understand the Disney Princess fairy tails, her recent novel "Christmas Karol", a retelling of Dickens' Christmas classic, and her podcast "Storytime for Grownups", a semiweekly show which is part audio book, part insightful commentary, and part Q&A of listener questions.Faith treats the Buf team to strategies for understanding fairy tales, hints for writing well, and permission to crush on high-virtue literary characters, along with a wealth of understanding into all things literary and a suggestion to "step outside the narrative" — a call to find Joy by staying true to what is Right and Moral but allowing yourself to take the path of your own calling, regardless of what the culture might be telling you.  Faith's contact information:faithkmoore.comStorytime for Grownupshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/storytime-for-grownups/id1723225253*****As always, you can reach the Buf at [email protected]*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.  As such, some of you have asked how you can help out.  Well, here's the answer: support us on Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/bufnagleOn this page, you can do a really nice thing like send us a couple dollars to help cover the cost of recording and hosting and microphones and research and all that.  Any little bit really helps!  Thank you in advance!!!
