Delightful

The sweetest reminder of mystery and magic that never fails to bring a smile…and maybe a wee shiver.

Beautiful voice! Open minded, kind, informative.

I first heard about Jo and her work with modern fairy sightings on a different podcast, and then in a collection of essays, Magical Folk. I immediately wanted to hear what she had to say in podcast form, and when she stared this show I was not disappointed. Her voice is so soothing; so kind… like a meditative sound bath. Her guests have such beautiful stories. Jo is an open-minded interviewer collecting these stories for future generations while simultaneously creating a safe space for those who may feel otherwise ostracized because of their experiences. I’m always excited when a new episode arrives in my feed. You’re wonderful Jo! Remain amazing (and curious too)!

Finally

Been looking for an “entity encounter” podcast that focused on fairies and similar entities for what seems like forever. Glad to have finally stumbled on this show!!!
