I've been part of a lot of amazing discussions on podcasts. Some really stand out for me and this is one of them! Last summer I sat down with my friend @chriscogger.bsky.social to talk cunning folk, Welsh witchcraft, and folklore. Check this out!

Just submitted the revised manuscript to my publisher The History Press for a project I've been working on since last year. A guidebook to the witches, wizards, and cunningfolk of Wales and the Borders tentatively scheduled for September. One of the figures is Dick Spot the Conjuror of Oswestry!

I started a new YT channel: The Urban Tales. All about folklore and urban legends... would really help if you go give a sub, a like and a comment. The first episode is the ghost stories of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQF8...

Maybe I'll join a Buddhist dancing cult and sail away on a wise Tanuki's scrotum to seek nirvana... who wants to join me? 🙏🦝
