Yes! Finally found audio that does these stories justice! Can’t wait to dive in deeper!
First of thank you for the stories and all the work the entire team puts into sharing them.
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate listening to two siblings thoughtfully discuss story, history, gender, ecology, and so much more. I love that format of a brother and sister. There’s the petty sibling stuff but also a deep love and respect. Thanks
I listen to you when I go for my hour walks after work to clear my head and get fit. I love the longer podcasts that split the time between story and discussion. As an Irish-Canadian I look forward to learning more!
I listen to these every day! An amazing educational podcast, keeping our stories alive. GRMA 🤍
Possibly my favourite podcast. Wonderful retellings of Irish mythology and folk tales, tales that are criminally underexposed. Beautiful storytelling, excellent music, great craic altogether.
