Join your neurodivergent host, Maddie, & her cohost, Tucker, on this careening journey talking about Changeling folktales: a fairy substitute for a person that the fairies had abducted and either replaced with their own stock, or with a lump of wood. Changelings were notable for their inhuman intelligence and ability, large appetites, mischievousness, and ungovernable spirits. Many methods are used to get the "real child" back from the fairies. The conversation then turns to medical history speculation, vaccines, and autism in relation to changeling lore.
