Occasionally at the beginning of the show, the announcer tells of an award for the sho, or reads a letter of praise. A few weeks ago on the podcast, a letter of complaint was read from a parent who didn’t think today’s show was appropriate for children. Listen and see for yourself if you agree.
The Pretenders take a ride on a firetruck into story land, as they get ready for this famous tale of terror.
Bluebeard was a strange man who made his neighbors nervous, but he kept to himself. He brings his new wife home, and gives her full run of the house except for one room. When her curiosity gets the better of her, it’s time for Bluebeard to get a new wife. No wonder his neighbors are nervous with Bluebeards presence.
What kind of woman would fall for a guy like that anyway? Keep listening, and find out. He goes to other lands where his reputation is less known, and finds Fatima. She is excited to be marrying such a wealthy, prominent man, but will miss her family. An agreement is made to help keep her from being so homesick, and her sister and two brothers go with her, and stay near by. It turns out to be the thing Fatima needs to not only save herself, but put an end to Bluebeards reign of terror over women.
