    Welcome to I Pod a Spell On You - Edy Hurst's Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches Podcast, the show where we invite guests on and solver all their problems with the very best in pre-modern era magic.


    This week Edy is joined by Steffan Alun, Stand-Up Comedian and refuser of additional descriptors. Steffan is a Welsh comedian who performs across the UK, particular in his home country in the Welsh language, and less so in the Welsh language across the rest of the UK. They also present the S4C and CBBC show Academi Gomedi, where Welsh children are taught stand up comedy, culminating in a live performance at a club. Steffan talks to us about ADHD, bisexuality, performing in different languages and to different audiences.


    Steffan's Debut Fringe show 'Stand Up' Will be at Hoots @ The Apex this August 9.30pm:

    Steffan comes to us on a voyage of learning, learning Korean! That darned bird from Duolingo has been doing him dirty, leaving him adrift in the sea of knowledge. Will our spell help shorten his journey? Or is the quest more important than the destination?

    This week Edy is joined by Joz Norris, acclaimed comedian, writer and organiser of albums he listens to. He created the sitcom Dream Factory for BBC Radio 4 and the award winning show 'Joz Norris is Dead, Long Live Mr. Fruit Salad' as well as receiving critical acclaim for his show Blink.


    Joz has sought the help of Edy to aid in transferring things from his phone to his computer without an intermediate step. A grand request! He also talks about directing shows (including Edy Hurst's Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches in the Countie of Himself) the tricky definitions of character/alternative comedy (and how much they actually matter) and making films.

    Welcome to I Pod a Spell On You - Edy Hurst's Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches Podcast, the show where we speak with Disabled and Neurodivergent Artists from across the industry and use magic, spell and best guesses from pre-1700s literature to help solve all their (and our) problems.


    This week Edy is joined by Bec Hill, multi-hyphenate comedian, writer, presenter and podcaster! Bec may be best know for her unique paper puppetry performances, appearing on Jonathan Ross and 8 out of 10 cats do countdown, or for presenting the CITV show Makeaway Takeaway, or maybe her children's book series Horror Heights, or maybe her podcasts A Problem Squared or Enemy in Paris, or maybe just from her antics on social media!


    Bec joins Edy to help track down a stolen phone from earlier in the year, and also to - in the kindest way - encoruage Edy not to try and get the smoke from a dead man's tooth.

  • Episode 4: Games w/ Laurence Clark
    Mar 29 2024

    Welcome to I Pod a Spell On You - Edy Hurst's Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches Podcast, the show where we speak with Disabled and Neurodivergent Artists from across the industry and use magic, spell and best guesses from pre-1700s literature to help solve all their (and our) problems.


    This week Edy is joined by Laurence Clark, an award-winning writer and stand up comedian. He's previously written storylines for Coronation Street and Hollyoaks, and his Sitcom Perfect was turned into a pilot and is on the UKTV Play App. He is currently working on a new play titled Cured which we discuss in the show, alongside his previously life in academia.


    Laurence is in desperate need of help from Edy to once and for all beat his 12 year old son at board games. For too long has the pre-teen protege lauded his victories upon the Clark household. But will Edy's spell from the Petite Albert prove enough to cut the (colonel) Mustard?

  • Season Break Announcement!
    Dec 1 2023

    Welcome to I Pod a Spell On You - Edy Hurst's Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches Podcast, the show where we speak with Disabled and Neurodivergent Artists from across the industry and use magic, spell and best guesses from pre-1700s literature to help solve all their (and our) problems.


    As a Neurodivergent-led podcast, what could illustrate the lived experience better than realising you need to take longer to complete work to a quality standard than you expected? So in many ways, is not a special announcement of a season break the most on brand episode we've had? What if it's because of a curse too? Like a hex? Now that's an overlap you can't write except for just immediately before.


    Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to the first three episodes, and thank you for your patience over the next month or so as we get the rest of the season ready for your ears!
