Wonderful presentation

Good stories, interesting history, and excellent acting. One might find this appropriate for the Halloween season, but it's good any time.

An absolute gem.

This delightful podcast was present one night in my Spotify recommendations. Thinking it might have something to do with Matt Haig's book, I decided to try the first episode. OH! MY!!! Am I glad I did!
It talks about different topics pulled from mythology and history. The hosts are phenomenal! I get lost in the storytelling of Ms. Miranda Merrick and am only brought back when Mr. Darling's gruff voice announces the end. Sounds are played in the background that resonate with the story so well-absolutely amazing! The small commercial breaks in the middle are so ingenious and phenomenal. An absolute gem.

playful fun and informative, darkly humorous.

Miranda spins tales of history and humor with wry asides, not to mention a werewolf and definitely not a demon erma.

Actual PODCAST Review (It's Magically Amazing)

This PODCAST is fun, compelling, well researched and well written. The setting is unlike any other as you are visiting a mysterious old library to be greeted by Mr. Darling & Miranda Merrick. Ms. Merrick tells you bite-sized tales on subjects like "Witch Bottles" "Windigos" & "Deals with The Devil" -There's also lots of creepy atmospheric details, music, and subtle sounds that accompany her spooky readings- and funny fake ads and strange happenings at the beginning and end of every episode.
