About Pisrógs

Pisrogs podcast is an audio adventure of Irish myth, folklore, history and more. The podcast started with hosts Luke Conroy and Aran Reidy trawling through the Duchás Folklore Archives for the most spell-binding, peculiar, imaginative and funny Irish folk stories they could find. With Aran having emigrated to the plains of Tír na nÓg, Luke returns with a brand new season of interviews, investigations and oddities and a new co-host Cathal Bergin!
