Metamorphosis Part 2: A Feminist Fairytale in the Making

from Rumpel and the Frog · host Rumpel and the Frog

In today’s episode we continue exploring metamorphosis, but with a slight twist… this time, we focus on a very special theme near and dear to us: feminist fairytale retellings! This episode has a bit of its own metamorphosis as we talk with our special guest, Brandie June, author of the soon-to-be released Gold Spun - a fresh retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin tale through the miller’s daughter’s point of view. Except in this retelling, the miller’s daughter is a con artist and Rumpelstiltskin is a mysterious faerie with a dark secret. Does it get any better than this?! Brandie's new book will hit the shelves June 8, 2021, but it's the process of creating it that we are most eager to hear about. She is truly a creative: a maker, performer, writer and artist. You'll hear all about her sources of inspiration, the surprises and frustrations of her process, and what it takes to turn an idea into a published work! Tune in to hear about Gold Spun's audio version (spoiler alert - we're excited!), a giveaway, Brandie's love for dog-sweater making, and more!
