  • Completely Enchanted by Rowan and Pine!

    Obsessed! I stumbled across this podcast while looking for something on Mabon and instantly fell in love. Now I can’t stop listening! Each episode feels like hanging out with your smartest, coolest friends over coffee — the ones who know everything about the stuff you actually care about. I love how the Emily & Naimh blend deep, well-researched, and academic insight with warmth and humor. Keep it up, ladies!

    These two make my heart happy. I love listening to their discourse; it reminds me of my friends chattering about their passions! And the lore they share touches on things I've never heard of. Highly, highly recommend!

  • Eye of Newt and Toe of Dog

    I think you just tried to curse me. Ha! Not gonna work, my children betray me every chance they get. If I’ve retained anything I’ve lamented from Rowan & Pine it’s that a curse will come back on the curser if it’s not deserved (if you believe in such things). Informative and well-researched show, one of my faves.
