Sounds from the Shadows

I found this podcast years ago when they were mention on My Favorite Murder, and I keep coming back to it! Such a wonderful breath of fresh air, you feel as though you’re sitting around the campfire with good friends, or listening to a friend tell their story over a glass of wine. The hosts always out do themselves with wonderfully theatric story telling and make you feel like a dear friend.

As an American who is 75% Irish according to my mother, I love love this podcast. I knew of some Irish and Celtic folklore but I am learning so much more. As an aside, I am also delighted at all the Terry Pratchett references.

The storytelling is lovely and just great for getting into the Halloween mood! Only thing I would ask is that the hosts please speak closer to the mic or more loudly! Their volume is usually fine when they’re telling the stories, but the conversational parts can be very difficult to hear and I have to constantly readjust the volume. Other than that, a fantastic podcast!

I was looking for a podcast that was not only great for Halloween lovers, but also for those who love stories that are historical/folkloric/mystical/magical/etc from all around the world that I could listen to all year long. Where I live is very young and when I visited Europe I loved that you can feel the history; it was a different world I can see the modern day and history merge which I only read in books, but felt a deep calling to. I fell in love with the history and folklore and wanted more of it. This podcast embodies the storytelling I wish we had in American west coast society today. Mix of poetry and history and fun fiction...exactly what I have been searching for. Thank you for creating this and I’m enjoying these episodes immensely.
