Fate & Fables
Some stories sound too unbelievable to be true.
They're the ones worth telling.
Welcome to Fate & Fables, a weekly storytelling podcast where extraordinary true stories unfold like dark fairy tales. Each episode follows ordinary people through extraordinary circumstances—from plane crashes and shipwrecks to wilderness survival, animal attacks, natural disasters, and the bizarre twists of fate that leave them alive against impossible odds.
Hosted by Jenni Dais from the quiet backdrop of her garden, Fate & Fables blends immersive storytelling with curiosity, dark humor, and a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit.
These aren't just stories about surviving.
They're stories about fate, instinct, impossible decisions, and the moments that remind us how wildly unpredictable it is to be human.
Because sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
