b'Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!\\nThis week we have a pair of Fairy Tales read to us by real life fairy, well, self proclaimed half-fairy, Tauren Hagans! She\'s able to take a break from singing Christmas tunes out in North Carolina to sit behind a mic and read with Ken.\\nKen has chosen two stories from L. Frank Baum\'s\\xa0American Fairy Tales, and the stories are delightful.\\xa0 We\'ve read from this book before, so you get a few fun facts, but for more in depth looks into Baum\'s life check out episode 1/31 "Acetone High on the Yellow Brick Road" or 2/8 "Baum 2.0".\\nThe episode is charming, and along the way Ken and Tauren discuss life as a half-fairy and the evils of seagulls, all while rewriting the endings of Mr. Baum\'s stories.\\n"The King of the Polar Bears" and "The Capture of Father Time" were first published in American Fairy Tales in 1901.\\nFind Tauren at her website taurenhagans.com, and learn all about how you too can be a fairy, or at least have the hair of one, at at fairyhairnyc.com!\\nAlso, the 2022 calendar featuring co-host Ken in Halloween animal ears is now available\\xa0on our website!\\nRemember to tell five friends to check out\\xa0Campfire Classics.\\nNow sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.'
