As fun as it is to do this podcast, it is a lot of work – especially when I have to go and write folklore blog posts to go with it because I’m grouping certain posts together. So I’ve decided to change the schedule to fit in with my other online activities. This means that in the months of the Equinox and the Solstice – that is to say September, March, June and December – there won’t be any new podcast episodes published. But tune in every Thursday otherwise and you’ll get fresh folklore – and my own twist on it.
This is it for 2021. New episodes await you in January 2022.
