HO HO HO, NOLLAIG SHONA DUIT !

Chris and Spence have donned their red (or black) Santa suits to tuck into more than just a minced pie for Irish Gothic’s first Christmas special. We’re covering everything from Ireland’s festive ‘devil bird’, to the big man himself - Saint Nicholas. Listen in to hear toe-curling tales, even scarier than having your in-laws over for turkey. However you celebrate at this time of year, good tidings to all and we’ll be back in the New Year!

The Irish Gothic Podcast explores the origins of Irish Folk tales. myths and legends in all their dark, fantastical glory and how these vivid yarns continue to resonate across the world to this very day.

Join Hosts Chris Patterson and Spence Wright as they fuse their love for all thing's horror with a wellspring of Irish lore.

From the terrifying figure of the Dullahan to the origins of Halloween itself, if it’s a yarn you’re after, pull up a chair and let ‘Irish Gothic’ fill your ears.
