Australia2 months ago - Nothing like it
This podcast is my absolute favorite these days. I’ve enjoyed Philippe’s unique guests every time. It helps that I am super into history in the same ways he is, asking after folk stories and traditions, ancient rememberings and even the spooky stuff. I found this podcast while searching the feral people of the Smokey mountains. After that I’ve been hooked! I love this podcast and really respect the host and his way of doing things. I highly recommend this to my friends all the time and look forw... more

United Statesa year ago - Inspiring, Moving, Enchanting
Where to begin? This is my favourite show, without exception- as someone across the pond, but with an interest in the folklore, folkways, and folk tunes of Appalachia (and the lands further afield the podcast journeys to), it’s always a treat to explore them alongside Phillippe as our trusty, eager, engaging guide. The tone is beautifully cosy, as if you’re gathered round the campfire on a crisp autumn evening with some of the most interesting people you’ve ever met. And inspiring, too- little d... more

United Kingdoma year ago - The underlying connection between all
Man I just listened to the Snake Handler episode of your podcast and I just have to say I am loving every second of this. I only found you a few weeks ago but I was immediately enthralled. I’ve never heard anything like this that weaves in the connections between the outdoors and hunting and Alchemy and bushcrafting and Jungian theory and mysticism. It’s just the coolest thing ever, thank you for it, it’s absolutely fantastic.
