Tales of Britain and Ireland by Tales of Britain and Ireland.
Tales of Britain and Ireland.
A storytelling and folklore podcast. Telling some of the famous and not so famous British and Irish myths, legends and folktales, in no particular order. Coming direct from South Yorkshire it is currently regularish, and will feature all of the above and whatever other miscellaneous snippets take my fancy. Presented by Graeme.

Listen to the last episode:
The 50th episode! A huge milestone for me and I'm using it to concentrate on one of my favourite topics I've only touched on so far: Boggarts. Boggarts abound in this selection of accounts featuring a surprising variety of supernatural sights - shrieking spectres, ghostly geese, inflatable sheep, ineffective graves and much much more. Come to Boggartdom, meet the feeorin and found out more synonyms for terror than you ever thought you'd need!
