CELTIC MYTHS AND LEGENDS PODCAST: SELKIES AND SEAL HUSBANDS
-
- In this episode we finally cover one of my absolute favourite folkloric creatures: the Selkie! How can we use folklore to talk about difficult contemporary situations? And what about the (seal) men!!?.
THE GENIUS OF THE CELTS
-
- Every filmmaker and book illustrator knows how to depict an ancient Celt. A typical Celt is supposed to have been a hairy, mud-smeared hooligan dressed in ragged tartan. In a land of trackless forests beyond the edges of the Roman empire, those ignoble barbarians, inspired by bloodthirsty priests known as druids, conducted a futile campaign of resistance against the superior civilisation from the south. Violently nostalgic and rarely sober, they were easily outclassed by the super-efficient Romans.
CELT IN A TWIST: AUGUST 28 2022
-
- To bittersweet partings and abundant possibilities. Life's rich pageant plays out before your very ears each week on Celt In A Twist. New Scandi-Celt spins from Trio Svin and Bragr!
TOP 10 IRISH TOWNS WITH MOST PUBS PER PERSON REVEALED
-
- WE like a drink in Ireland, it's no secret.
- The pub has become such a staple of our society and culture that you can barley picture an Irish man or woman without a few dozen whiskey bottles on the wall behind them and a couple of damp coasters under their hand.
FAVOR OF A DANCE?
- The next Pub Songs & Stories digs into fake gallantry, a duel with swords, and fighting back against those who feel the need to control others. All through the lens of a pizza stone that Marc Gunn broke.
- Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer join Marc Gunn as he retells West Side Story meeting the TV show Firefly with a Celtic folk feel. It's all on the next show.
