  • Insightful and Captivating!

    I have to say, I am in love with all the different ways myths, fairytales, and folk tales are being approached these days. Catherine is amazing, and very succinctly, yet expansively, dives into her subjects and brings them to us, the listener. Each episode is a gem, and helps me to understand so much about this world we live in, what a gorgeous Podcast!

It’s like a tarot reading, a fairytal... more
