Once upon a time, comedians Fiona Ridgewell & Louise Atkinson decided to start a podcast that explores fairy tales, folklore, myths, and legends.

Louise & Fiona also talk about Fiona's tarot card reading, the art of letter writing & dogs with opinions.

In this episode, Fiona & Louise look at the Scottish mythical creature, the Brownie. Also known as a brùnaidh or gruagach in Scots Gaelic, a Brownie (or Brounie) is a good-natured type of hobgoblin from folklore that is said to inhabit houses and to come out at night while the owners of the house are asleep and perform various chores and farming tasks.
Louise & Fiona also talk about Fiona's singing career, face waxing, and the subjects they would do if they went on Mastermind; spoiler, they're not highbrow topics.
