Marcas and Stephie adapt and retell famous, and not so famous stories from Irish Mythology and Folklore.
Each episode features a dramatic reading of one of these tales, along with a deep dive into the original versions that they are adapted from.
Encounter mighty warriors, druids, witches, demons, monsters, gods, fairies, ghosts, saints, and scholars as we travel to magical locations in the Irish otherworld - below the ground, under the sea, in the sky and beyond the realm of comprehension.

Please Listen!
If you love mythology or Irish culture or BOTH than this is a MUST listen. Best podcast out there. I can’t wait for hear more episodes.
It was good until the political diatribe
Bye
Superbly told Irish Mythology
I’m such a huge fan of this podcast. Irish Mythology as told by entertaining scholars on the subject. Perfect for long road trips into the night, but it keeps you in your car listening long after the trip has finished.
