Thouroughly entertaining and informative

This podcast is an unexpected surprise. Each episode examines elements found in ancient myths and folklore with a mix of history, philosophy, spirituality, and humor. The research behind them is evident and impressive, but what I enjoy most are the narrator's own runinations on the material. That, and his uncanny knack of finding the perfect excerpt to illustrate his findings, be it Patrick Stewart quoting Shakespear or, in his most recent episode, Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys explaining the difference between God and Santa (did I mention the humor?) The production is beautiful, the narration mesmerizing, the music haunting, and the experience transporting. I highly recommend!

Love The Hidden Passage!

This podcast is a high quality production, and Christian does a lovely job of not only narrating but of researching his topics heavily and crediting his sources. I love to listen while driving or winding down at night. Shamans, faeries, aliens, vampires, etc. there seems to be a topic of interest for anyone and more to come!
