Season 4 continues with Episode 5 – Castle Dwellers. In this episode we’re exploring some of the folklore, nature and stories surrounding castle ruins.
There are some dark folkloric characters explored in this podcast and so, as always, I would recommend that you should listen through first before listening with younger members of your household.
