In this episode of Tales of Bedlam, your hosts Micah (Knob Twister) and Dustin (Sofa Sitter) dive into Lambikin, a lesser-known Indian folktale collected by Joseph Jacobs in 1910. Don’t let the cute name fool you—this story of a baby lamb’s wild journey to Granny’s house and back takes a hilariously dark turn. Along the way, Lambikin evades a host of hungry predators by promising to fatten up first. But when his plan to roll back home inside his dead brother’s skin (yes, really) goes awry, the tale ends with a grim twist worthy of the Brothers Grimm themselves.
With witty banter, absurd voice acting, and insightful and absurd commentary, this episode is a wild ride through folklore, food chains, and flawed promises. Whether you’re here for laughs, lore, or just a weird story to share at a dinner party, Lambikin delivers.
