I studied Celtic literature at University 20 years ago and I love this podcast. I wish it had been around then! It's so interesting and fun and intriguing. A brilliant way into this often confusing literature. Thoroughly recommended.
Description
Story Archaeology combines the knowledge and skills of the storyteller with academic exploration of ancient texts. The main focus is the Irish tradition but at https://storyarchaeology.com, you will find an archive of podcast articles, stories and translations as well as new podcast conversations with people from around the world who have ‘Stories in the Landscape’ to share.
