About

Welcome to Tales of Bedlam! I’m your host, Micah, returning with a fresh season of fairy tale adventures after our hiatus. While Dustin has moved on to new endeavors, I’m delighted to introduce my wonderful wife, Andrea, as my new co-host!

Together, we’ll continue our journey through enchanting stories from around the world, blending historical context, personal insights, and our signature humor to breathe new life into timeless tales. Our passion for storytelling remains unchanged—we’re just adding a new voice to our magical mix.

As we balance our podcast with full-time careers and raising a teenager, new episodes may arrive at irregular intervals, but each one promises to be worth the wait. So find your favorite listening spot, get comfortable, and join us as we explore the curious corners of folklore where every tale has deeper roots than most realize.
