About

What we think we know about animals often comes from the stories we tell. But are wolves really big and bad? Are owls really wise? Framed by Fables puts animal myths, stereotypes, and pop-culture portrayals to the test with real science. Hosted by comedian Helen Hong, each episode features a special guest  and a renowned animal expert, who unpack what’s true and what’s fiction. Every misunderstood animal gets a redemption arc. And every episode ends with a twist you won’t see coming.
