A Woman in Search of a Mate

In this hilariously musical episode of Tales of Bedlam, your hosts Micah and Dustin explore a Native American folk tale, “A Woman in Search of a Mate, ” or is it? What starts as a story about a confident young woman searching for love quickly turns into something more…feathery.

As she rejects offers of moss and hawthorn berries, our heroine sings her way down the riverbank, seeking a suitor who offers a more palatable future.

Alongside the story, you’ll enjoy the duo’s signature banter, dramatic readings, and even some memorable listener voicemails—including one from a confused “donkey cabbage” victim.

So tune in for humor, heart, and a surprisingly wholesome ending—no witches, cannibalism, just a couple of birds falling in love.

🎙️ What did you think of the twist at the end?

Was she right to hold out for something better than moss and hawthorn berries? Do you think you’d recognize a bird in disguise?
