December 24, 2025 Yuletide Special
This time of year is said to be a liminal time and so this episode brings you stories of creatures and spirits who flit between worlds, as well as a non Scottish story of the Snow Queen, a story I always love for this time of year.

This episode has been made possible thanks to these incredible people:

Playing harp : Helena De Cauwer
Choir vocals : Marie Cocriamont, Roos Denaeyer, Laura Gekiere
Sound editing : Laura Gekiere
