  • Brilliantly unique and such a cosy listen!

    This is such an important podcast, showcasing all these old books of original folklore. Don’t think it’s ever been done before. Then the way it’s produced too, makes it such a pleasant listen. I listen to a lot of folklore podcasts and there’s just nothing like this - an absolute favourite of mine already!
