58: Guy of Warw1ck - Part 1
This first episode in the beginning (the beguyinning?) of my telling of one of England's formerly most popular legends. This episode features young lust, trivial class divisions, masculinity, Frenchmen, challenges to big dairy and exasperated emperor noises. Amongst other things.

57: The Ghosts of Donaldgowerie House
A Ghost Story episode for Christmas from the pen of.... well not the master teller of ghost stories. In 1911 Elliot O'Donnell released Scottish Ghost Stories. It was reviewed in the Observer alongside MR James's new work published at about the same time - More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary. Of Scottish Ghost Stories the observer reviewer had this to say: "Beside Dr James’s Mr O’Donnell’s ghost stories are foolish and and feeble things… if any of the bogles whom Mr Donnel has now expounded in five volumes have any basis [in fact] we can only commiserate the ordinary ghost on its tameness, sameness and generally imperfect equipment of horror as compared with the eerie and ingenious spectres of Dr James." So of course in this episode I tell Elliot O'Donnell ghost story - which is distinctly Scottish. I hope you enjoy this imperfect equipment of horror nonetheless.Musical credits and sources at: https://talesofbritainandireland.com/episode-57-the-ghosts-of-donaldgowerie-house/ #GhostStory #Folklore #mythsandlegends
