How many of us grew up hearing the expression, “Don’t cry over spilled milk?” What if we told you it dated back 200 years ago to a disaster in a tiny Swiss town where a dairy cart tipped over, drowning four residents in a giant milky wave?

That sounds right, doesn’t it? 

Or does it come from old English lore – from a time when people still strongly believed in fairies and it was common practice to lay out food and drink offerings, including milk? Whenever the milk was spilled, it was shrugged off as just a little extra offering for their fairy friends.

Can you guess which one is true?

Join your host Andrew Keenan-Bolger, actor, director, author & filmmaker, for That Sounds Right, a gameshow podcast where each week, he’ll be joined by a professional storyteller — be it an actor, writer, comedian, or social media star. They’ll take turns trying to convince each other – and you at home – that their version of the story is the real one.

And sometimes, fact really is stranger than fiction…but sometimes, a tall tale is just far more delicious.
