Australiaa month ago - Delightfully informative and a little spooky
My favorite podcast currently! Manages to walk the line of being very cozy and a little spooky, while also covering lots of information. I personally donāt know much about English folklore, so Iāve loved hearing the stories and listening to Justin and Tim discuss them. Also really enjoy the guest interviews as well -- I learn something new each episode!
