Ep 65: Guest Host Takeover with Kate Ray and Claire Casely

✨Welcome to part one of two Guest Host Takeover specials produced by my fellow podcasters and researchers.*

In this episode I’m delighted to introduce hosts Kate Ray of Hare in the Hawthorn and Claire Casely of ‘Fairy Whispering Podcast’. Their fabulous chat includes a discussion on the merits of gnomes (Kate hails from Nottingham, scene of the Wollaton Gnomes) and pixies (Claire is from Devon, land of the pixies).

🧌🧚🏻‍♀️ They discuss our human connection with nature, and their own personal relationships with fairy beings. Some musings are offered on the evolution of fairies and they even treat us to some encounters from their local area!

Thanks so much to these marvellous women, who are also dear friends 💗

On the next special episode we’ll hear from Bethan Briggs-Miller of Eerie Essex and Spectre of the Sea and Icy Sedgwick of Fabulous Folklore with Icy .

*Jo will return with a brand new series on Sunday September 3rd.

⭐️ In the bonus episode on Patreon⭐️

Jo offers a look at the life and work of 19th century Cornish poet, John Harris. Though narrated excerpts from his autobiography, we catch a glimpse of how our ancestors may have lived and their close relationship with nature.

The video version will release on YouTube one week after the audio release.

Ep 59: The Burgundy Kingdom – Shropshire Fairies

This episode, full of childhood encounters, holds a particularly enchanting quality. As a sick child lies in bed, he is visited by pixies. On another occasion, at the end of the Second World War, a terrifying goblin appears at the end of his bed. A member of the same family later experiences a bedtime parade of magical wonders. Her resulting dream journeys to a ‘Burgundy Kingdom’ makes her wish dearly that she could return.

Some of those experiences are beautiful and wondrous while others are quite unsettling. A further reminder that this podcast is not suitable for children or for those who are sensitive to creepy content.

⭐️On the bonus episode we hear more about the history of the house including a particularly unnerving event which took place soon after the passing of its owner. In that same bonus we will hear about our guest’s experience at the famous 800 year old oak tree, Old Knobbly in Essex.⭐️
