Lots of interesting nuggets of folklore. Wryly humorous. Always come away with a new bit of information and always have a bit of a giggle at some point in the show.
Always interesting, quirky and funny.
Not only does Icy research her stories and give you verifiable information, but she is a great storyteller too!
So you get a bunch of well researched information, with great insights from someone who has been studying this stuff a long time. AND … you get a great story, because she is genuinely interested in the subject matter as well as her audience!
It IS the best of both worlds. Get a cup/glass of your favorite beverage and sit back!
