This week we've brought you something slightly different! We've been quite busy here at The Crannog, so we've pulled together the recordings of our sections and presented them without the usual chit chat that follows. We will be back to regular broadcasting in our next episode!

The Crannog is the segment of the podcast where a panel of hosts come together to chat about various folktales on a specific theme!
