A great new take on traditional tales

I was already a fan of India from her brilliant TikTok channel. Her latest project delves into ancient stories and brings them up to date as well as respecting their origins. An absolute must for anyone who is interested in history and legends. Definitely my new favourite podcast. I’d love to hear about the banshee.
