  • An podchraoladh a sceith úrscéal!

    The Pod that spawned a novel. These audio glimpses into the treasure trove of Irish folklore and the myriad roots and sources, leading to others (Storyteller Eddie Lenihan-for one) ended up bound into the DNA of The Glimmer Girl, for better or worse! Looking forward to the new series-thanks Jonny & Co.

  • Thank you for this podcast

    I found the series a couple of months ago and wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying it. I love the relaxed presentation from two people who clearly love their subject matter with a passion. The old tape recordings are great and really make the tales relevant - looking forward to listening to the episodes I’ve not got round to yet - many thanks, Richard

In any event, I find this podcast fascinating, insightful, witty and unlike any other source of information I have come across.

    I am saddened to find some older episodes seem to have been removed, as I only recently have had ... more
