The Ash Lad is a quirky and whimsical tale about a young fuck-up peasant, who goes on a quest to save a salty princess from a Troll King of the patriarchy. There are many silly mishaps, feats of daring, and seeds of mayhem sowed along the way, which we recount after our own style for your listening pleasure. We take the Satirist approach to understanding this Scandinavian folktale, and even pull a class struggle discussion out of our proverbial hats.
