THE GHOSTBUSTER & THE ELF

What a fantastic new podcast, the Dan Aykroyd episode is a phenomenal, all-encompassing ramble across the psychic, historical, Fortean, supernatural, mystical, literary and folkloric.

Absolutely love it and am looking forward to starting Dan’s book that my mate’s kid gave me just this weekend! 👻🛸

Funny, interesting and of course, weird!

Can’t praise this enough. Always enjoyed Dan on Fish and now this eclectic, fun and respectful podcast gives me so much joy.

Only downside is there isn’t a huge back catalogue to binge!

Great to be in Dan’s company with his collection of weirdo’s

I follow ‘no such thing as a fish’ and read Dan’s book recently. It comes as no surprise that this is wonderful addition to my podcast weekly listen. His relaxed style, intellect and great interviewing style shine through this podcast.
I also like the fact that the run time allows a deep dive into the interviewee and their stories.
