This episode is a special preview of Adam’s Sneak Peeks—a Pinna-exclusive series from the world of Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest. In Adam’s Sneak Peeks, author and storyteller Adam Gidwitz shares early versions of brand-new Grimm-inspired tales—before they’re fully produced. Then, listeners like you help shape what comes next.
