House of Legends Podcast

Breathing New Life into Ancient Stories

House of Legends is a world myths and legends podcast available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & Stitcher. New episodes appear every second Tuesday, featuring stories told by myself and leading storytellers from around the world.

I love to tell both famous and obscure tales. Classic stories you’ll hear on the podcast include Vasalisa and Baba Yaga, Thor’s Journey to Utgard, The Corpse Bride and Ossian & Niamh. You’ll also hear lesser-known Irish myths, Siberian legends and rare gems of Scottish folklore.

Our guests have included Jan Blake, Michael Harvey, Danica Boyce, Sian Esther Powell, David Novak, Angharad Wynne, Sharon Blackie, Kamini Ramachandran and Lisa Schneidau.

None of the stories you hear on House of Legends are read from a script. My guests and I are old-style storytellers; we rely on memory and the magic of the moment to shape the tales as we speak.

Reviewers have unanimously praised House of Legends, calling it:

‘Mesmerising’

‘Beautiful’

‘Storytelling at its best’

‘The best mythology podcast I’ve heard’
