Description

Perhaps you know about British Folklore, but do you about the aesthetics? ✨

Kicking off Season 2, Katie and Vincent discuss the aesthetics of British Folklore.

From reciting Wordsworth to the mystery behind Edinburgh's Burryman, it's always going to be a weird walk with us.

We also discuss how folklore is adapting to its modern surroundings through artists like Ben Edge and Boss Morris.
