We know what you're thinking "Guys, this is a fairytale, why are you doing an educational podcast episode on it??"

First of all, thank you for thinking we're educational. Second, the story of this mysterious man with his little flute and power over rats and children alike is so ingrained in the history of the town of Hamelin that there HAS to be something more to it.
