  • The Grimm Truth About Snow White - Season 5 (episode 7)
    Jan 22 2026

    In this episode of The Freakin’ Shack, Trina and Steph step into the darker woods of fairy tale history to uncover the unsettling origins of Snow White.

    Far from a gentle children’s story, the original tale reveals disturbing themes including maternal cannibalism, the true role of the huntsman, and the harsh, often misunderstood reality of the dwarves. The discussion explores the symbolism of the poisoned apple, the unsettling obsession of the prince, and the brutal punishment of the Queen.

    Along the way, Trina and Steph draw thoughtful parallels between this centuries-old story and modern life, touching on beauty standards, control, jealousy, and the complex dynamics of motherhood that still echo today.

    This is Snow White as you’ve never heard her before. Darker, stranger, and far more revealing.

  • A House Of Hidden Horrors - A Listeners Story
    Jan 15 2026
    Some houses feel wrong from the very beginning. In this episode, Michelle (one of our listeners) shares a true experience from a time in her life she’ll never forget — the house she moved into and the growing sense that something inside it didn’t want them there. Unexplained sounds, unsettling changes in atmosphere, stained floors and reactions from both children and animals slowly turned an ordinary home into a place of fear and unease. As the tension builds, events unfold that force one family to trust their instincts and make a decision they never expected to face. A chilling listener story that reminds us that some spaces hold more than memories… and not all of them are willing to stay quiet. Dare you swing that light — and listen carefully.

  • Hansel & Gretel - A Very Dark Beginning To 2026 - Season 5 (Ep 6)
    Jan 8 2026

    Welcome back to The Freakin’ Shack and to our very first episode of 2026! The fire’s crackling, the oak trees are whispering outside… and Mortimer Witherblight has - unbelievably, lost his voice. The silence is positively glorious (don’t tell him we said that).

    To launch the new year, we dive into one of the darkest fairy tales ever told: Hansel & Gretel.

    But be warned — the origins are grim in every sense. This episode explores: • The historical realities of child abandonment during periods of famine • The disturbing theme of child cannibalism woven into early versions • The often-forgotten context of elderly starvation and why this cruel choice appeared in the tale • How this story shifted over centuries to become the “sweetened,” house-made-of-sweets tale we know today

    It’s eerie, it’s fascinating, and it’s definitely one of the bleakest journeys we’ve taken in the Shack — but told with our usual warmth, humour, and just a sprinkle of spooky chaos.

    Mort, meanwhile, communicates his outrage through silent dramatic gestures.. He insists his voice will return “when the world is ready once more for my brilliance.” We can’t wait.
