Season 4 continues with Episode 4 – ‘Persephone’s Pomegranate’. In this episode we’re exploring the folklore, nature and stories of the underworld.
On occasion there are dark folkloric characters explored in this podcast and so, as always, I would recommend that you should listen through first before listening with younger members of your household.
