In this hilariously twisted retelling of the Polish fairy tale Carried Away by the Wind, Tales of Bedlam dives into the darkly magical world of Slavic folklore. When a vengeful magician curses a peasant to be swept through the skies for seven years, things take a turn for the bizarre—complete with knife rituals, mid-air proposals, and a surprise appearance by the legendary witch Baba Yaga.
Micah (Knob Twister) and Dustin (Sofa Sitter) do what they do best: dissect the absurdity, speculate wildly, and somehow bring levity to a story about starvation, betrayal, and knife-nados. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you might just learn something about consecrated blades and 19th-century Russian tsars.
This episode is a windy ride through magical vengeance, reluctant romance, and comedic commentary you won’t find in your average fairy tale podcast.
What do you think Jeff (yes, we named the peasant) did to deserve seven years in the sky? Was the magician’s revenge justified—or just magical overkill?
