    🕯 BRIGID & BOSCASTLE: February 2024 Almanac

    🕯 BRIGID & BOSCASTLE: February 2024 Almanac

    Welcome to the new format! The almanac will now be uploaded as an individual video here (streaming platforms), with the main show uploaded separately. As is done on Youtube.

    This is in acknowledgement of time sensitivity for episodes - as many people listen in the archive, often years later, and the almanac at the end of an episode may not be relevant!
