In this uproarious episode of Tales of Bedlam, Micah and Dustin dive headfirst into the classic Grimm Brothers tale, The Bremen Town Musicians Part One. But this isn’t your average fairy tale reading—expect unpredictable twists, commentary full of wit, and a breaking-news subplot involving rogue donkey-led musical gangs.
This first part introduces the gang of aging animals in search of a better life—and maybe a music career. From a world-weary donkey escaping the glue factory to a housecat with diva energy, our hosts explore historical context, question musical logistics (can a donkey play a lute?), and roast outdated storytelling quirks.
Tune in for a creative blend of classic fairy tale and modern absurdity that only Tales of Bedlam can deliver.
Did the donkey deserve a lute solo? Are you also suspicious of musical farm gangs?
