About this episode
This episode features a reading of the Brothers Grimm's 'Rapunzel' with added commentary and soft background music.
Thoughts and feelings weighing on your head like a ton of hair? WELL! Do I have a story for you! I figured we'd do a classic fairy tale tonight: The Brothers Grimms' Rapunzel! Join me as we read the story behind our beloved Disney's Tangled, and venture into some slightly well... grim... details! This tale, the Brothers Grimms' "Rapunzel," is read in a soft voice and set to some light and soft background music. I do hope you enjoy the this evening's fairytale!
