Rumpel and the Frog

In this episode, we reconnect with Brandie June, author of Gold Spun and its recently released sequel, Curse Undone. Tune in to hear about the continuing adventures of Nor, Pel, and Prince Casper. Spoiler Alert:  We do ask some questions about the tantalizing end of Gold Spun, the evolving love triangle of the main characters, and the new world that Brandie builds so beautifully for part 2 of this duology. Brandie shares her writing and editing process, her recent in-person book tour, and upcoming events that feature Brandie and celebrate the art of storytelling. Truly, it was a lovely reunion with Brandie, and we can't wait to share the conversation with you.  So, grab your stitching and join us in the world of Brandie June!

In this final episode of the Witches and Stitches series, we are delighted to really dig in and share our WIP'S and FO's.  It's been a while since we've had such a good long talk about our fiber-y processes! Next, Rumpel shares her newfound familiarity with familiars, or witches' spirit companions.  Tune in to hear about their origins from Classical Antiquity and their evolution throughout time. Plus, Froggie shares a little lesson she calls "Connecticut Witch Trials 101," in which we learn some choice bits about the long and troubling history of witch trials and witch panic right in our own backyard.  It turns out that the events in Salem are just one chapter in a much longer tale; a tale that our own state of Connecticut begins and ends.  Well, how 'bout that! Finally, we have a teaser for the micro-series planned for two episodes in December. Listen to the very end of the episode to hear all about it! It will definitely be a little bit of fun!

Mirror, mirror, on the wall… ohh, oops, wrong tale… Anyways, this Mirror, Mirror, Mini-Cast explores one version of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale as re-told by Rumpel. All ages can gather ‘round to listen to this re-telling of Briar Rose, originally from “Household Stories Collected by The Brothers Grimm, Volume 1”. Some liberties were taken in Rumpel’s interpretation and delivery of this Sleeping Beauty tale, but it stays on track to the overall story. If you’d like to read the original text it was inspired by, you can do that here! So, tune in!  When is the last time you took 15 minutes out of your day to be enchanted by some story time!

Welcome to the Rumpel & the Frog Show! In this episode we introduce ourselves and tell you our very own fairy tale about coming together to create the Rumpel & the Frog Podcast.
