Hi all, I have some bandwidth over the next couple of months for extra freelance work so please let me know if you need editorial writing, PR or corporate copywriting, or whitepapers!

Today’s BBC Sounds episode of Weird in the Wade features the fabulous @modquokka.bsky.social as we discuss spooky woodland and the paths that inspire Paul’s novels. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

We have so many interesting topics planned for the coming months, but we'd be interested to know what you'd like us to cover? What aspect of history or folklore would you like to hear? The best answers might find their way onto a future episode! 💀✨️ #Folklore #History #podcast
