In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, Joe and Nicole are delving into some Irish folklore. Who are the “wee folk?” Are there mermaids in Ireland? Was Dracula based on an Irish legend? For answers to those questions and more tales from the Emerald Isle, put on some green and have a listen to this week’s episode.
Warning:
Episode mentions death, torture, violence, gore, and cannibalism, but nothing too graphic.
