Catching up on stuff we missed over the summer because of.. other stuff. This from @wyrdfolkpod.bsky.social is a delight. What makes this podcast sing is not only the writing but how erudite it all is. The last few minutes talking about influences was so enjoyable. open.spotify.com/episode/04A1...

So excited to have a representative from Willerby on the show this week. We’ll be getting some good advice from them about how to deal with the Dun Cow. Out this Thursday.

Wyrd Folk Pod @wyrdfolkpod.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

Out today: The Search for Camelot. This episode is very dear to us because it is inspired my our dear dad’s love of The Idylls of the King by Tennyson. Listen in for a discussion of the literary and historical roots of Camelot.

Wyrd Folk Pod @wyrdfolkpod.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

You may have noticed that we’ve been very quiet recently. Our dear dad has been very ill and he sadly passed away over the weekend. We’re going to delay the next episode for another week to allow us some space to come to terms with this loss.

Wyrd Folk Pod @wyrdfolkpod.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

This week’s Camelot episode has been delayed by personal circumstances. We hope to have it up in the next few weeks. Please bear with us.

Wyrd Folk Pod @wyrdfolkpod.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Our episode this week is a tribute to our dad, who has been very unwell recently. When I was a child his favourite quote was the classic from Tennyson’s La Morte D’Arthur. ‘Thé old order changeth, yielding place to new.’

Wyrd Folk Pod @wyrdfolkpod.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

It’s a bit quiet at Wyrd Folk HQ as we’re both trying to finish novels before the end of the month. So we going to be putting out a short on Camelot instead of the advertised episode on Borley Rectory. Sorry for the late switch!

It’s English village fete season. The time of year where villages up and down the country are dusting off their maypoles, getting the WI to mass bake Victoria sponges and dragging the hook a duck out of the back of the shed. What does your village call this festival? Is it a wake? A fete?

221

Wyrd Folk Pod @wyrdfolkpod.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

It’s the first of May! Beltane for some but mostly and excuse for villages all Over the country to dust off their maypoles. We’ll be at Offenham Wake later, the finest of traditional wake celebrations.

Important question: Is it The Weirdstone of Bri-sin-gamen or The Weirdstone of Bri-sing-a-men? The debate has been long in the Wyrd Folk office.

Getting ready to record Season 3 Episode 1: The Wizards of Alderley Edge. Which will undoubtedly contain much discussion of the correct pronunciation of Brisengamen. I can’t be the only one who has been pronouncing it completely incorrectly for the last thirty years!

We’re using our season break to catch up on some reading (and other writing projects). At the moment that’s a combination of The Restless Republic and Normal Women (such great books). What else should we be reading?

Wyrd Folk Pod @wyrdfolkpod.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

The Meta AI story is so disheartening. Writer work for years, decades, alone to hone their craft and Meta have just stolen it out from underneath them for their own profit. And it seems like nothing can be done about this piracy because Meta have no masters and fear no consequences. Heartbreaking.
