Great episode! Love this story in all forms… Disney, Tim Burton, a version narrated by Glenn Close, and the original.
My school is doing the play, and when I was listening to the podcast, I was reading the script! Sometimes when I read a line, you said that!
Thanks for doing these amazing podcasts (I listen to them while doing homework!!)!
Thank you so much for the time and the effort that you put into these. The work is truly appreciated. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow happens to be one of my all time favorite stories, both the original Irving and the Disney film. Your story here does it justice. I have listened to this episode a few times now and enjoy it more and more each time. I also love the fact that the Horseman is the only Disney villain to “succeed.”
