An Update.
The Faerie Folk - Folklore, Myths and Legends from the U.K
I thought I would send out a little update to let you know that unfortunately I’m having to cancel the planned Halloween special of The Faerie Folk podcast. My family and I are going through a very difficult and heartbreaking time at the moment and I need to spend all my time loving and supporting them as we try our best to make it through this together. Therefore, I have made the difficult decision to place the podcast on hiatus for the time being.
