While the Folklore Scotland Podcast was officially launched on the Summer Solstice this year, we began our journey by recording trial episodes every two weeks, the first of which was released on 21st December 2020! To celebrate a whole year of fabulous folkloric content, we reached out to our listeners on Instagram and asked them to send us questions to answer in this episode.
Thank you to everyone who submitted questions, everyone who listens to our podcast each week and each and every one of our amazing contributors!
