Today I am releasing my 1st Bonus Episode!

I am speaking with Siofra Connor from the 'Norfolk Follow Society' podcast.

Siofra will be talking about mythical dogs from around the UK and I will be sharing some listeners stories about weird goings on in Grooming salons around the country.

I picked for Siofra to be a guest for a bonus episode because I love their podcast and mentioned it talking to Tanya Salas last week and from seeing posts on Facebook its clear that many Groomers like a good ghost story so why not have something extra to listen to this week and why not give their podcast a go!

Siofra and her friend Stacia started their podcast back in 2018 and they travel around norfolk visiting sites where there are folklore tales / ghost stories / weird things that go on! they look at the history and talk about their ideas and share their research. The links below are for Spotify and Apple Podcasts and their website... but you can find them on most major platforms.
