In this special episode of Tales of Bedlam, your hosts Micah and Dustin dive into a heartwarming modern fairy tale written by the talented UK author Amelia Brown. “The Friendly Ogre” is a whimsical and touching story about two adventurous boys who stumble upon something (or someone!) unexpected deep in the woods. What begins with fear soon becomes a surprising friendship with a pipe-smoking, tree-tossing ogre who’s not at all what he seems.
With their signature blend of humor, warmth, and storytelling magic, Micah and Dustin bring Amelia’s enchanted tale to life with commentary, chuckles, and a dash of nostalgia. Fans of The Chronicles of Narnia, Peter Pan, or Winnie-the-Pooh will feel right at home with this tender and charming story of growing up, magical moments, and letting go.
