It's a rare Justy-less episode this week, we gave him the day off for his birthday (happy birthdays in the comments for the big man). In his absence, Dani attempts to give Oisin (and us) a sensible introduction to demonology: what a demon actually is, the difference between demonology and Satanism, sigils, offerings, invocation, and why you probably shouldn't treat demons like supernatural vending machines.

Along the way there's tales of unexpected tax rebates, Madeira cake, tarot cards that simply refuse to leave you alone, and a prolonged investigation into why Billy Joel seems to be personally haunting Dani.

So grab a glass of clean water, light some incense, gaze (but don't stare) at your sigils, and join us for a spell.

That's right, we've got another one in the chamber! Shockingly America's love affair with firearms is a biiiig topic, deserving of another episode. This week Oisin (with his spotters Dani and Justy) trains his sights on public mass shootings and the entwining of guns with American masculinity.

Along the way, expect gun-as-penis talk, the origin of a few deadly idioms, how Bono is a bollocks (but he's our bollocks), and Charlie Kirk, naturally.

Welcome welcome welcome to the fourth episode in our Folk Magic trilogy! Trilogies can have four parts, trust me. Just look at Alien or Mad Max! Hell, Star Wars technically started with its fourth instalment!

Anywhoo, apparently we still haven’t run out of ways to talk about witches! This week, Dani, Oisin, and Justy explore how folk magic has survived, mutated,, and quietly snuck its way into everyday life; superstitions and household rituals to amulets, crystals, birds, herbs, hearths, thresholds, and crossroads. Along the way we question what “ancient” actually means, discover that pigeons might be magical snitches, and ask whether hyperspecific spell ingredients really matter.

Plus, some very warranted mourning of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, and some advice which definitely doesn’t violate any HR rules

Welcome to the third instalment of our Folk Magic trilogy! Everyone says the third ones are always the best, right??

This week, Dani, Oisin, and Justy dig their grubby mitts even deeper into the weird and wonderful magic mud, from Finnish healing witches and poppets to Appalachian traditions, Indigenous and African influences, and magical blacksmiths. Along the way there's Trump-adjacent weirdos (friends of the show), Dani's glamour magic, and we ask if magic is real, why are some witches charging a tenner for a ChatGPT-generated hex?

We've kept Dani on topic for two whole episodes! It's a world record!

This week, Dani, Oisin, and Justy careen from from Renaissance grimoires to Britain’s cunning folk and the infinitesimal distinction between a "witch" and "someone you paid to sort your supernatural problems out". We dive into witch trials, why the infamous “nine million witches burned” figure is way off, household protection rituals, horseshoes, fairy doors and the very Irish tradition of "I don’t believe in fairies, but I’m absolutely not fucking with them". Plus salt, magical knots, cord-cutting, protective wards and TikTok witches discovering AI!

Ever wondered why your nan had a miracle cure for everything? Or where the line between medicine, magic, and superstition actually is? This week, Dani swerves the murder and torture stuff for a journey through the strange and fascinating world of folk magic. From protective charms and herbal remedies to the beliefs that shaped entire communities, we're exploring the traditions that existed long before modern medicine and in some cases, never really went away. Also featured: eclipse chat, crystal charging logistics, and possibly too much discussion about piss.

(Apologies for the sound quality, we're cursed to use Zoom for the foreseeable future)

This week, your hosts dive into Irish mythology to explore one of the most powerful and chaotic figures in Celtic folklore: The Dagda, basically Ireland's original big beardy lad. Along the way expect discussions of Justy's second-hand-car selling expertise, TV licence inspectors, Apple TV recommendations, heat-induced brain fog, and whether or not modern life has turned us all a little paranoid.

In this month's Q&A episode, we discover:

- some near-death experiences (including how WWE'S Finn Balor broke Justy's neck),

- how most scaffolders are psychopaths,

- that Dani's cat can tapdance,

- the Final Destination sixth sense that comes from working in construction,

- Justy's sister's creepy childhood visions

- the ghouls of the Hellfire Club
