Episode 34: The Cruel Mother with Danica Boyce of Fair Folk Podcast

In this episode I talk to Danica Boyce, the host of Fair Folk, an outstanding folklore podcast. 

Clarification from Danica: The version of the Cruel Mother that she sings is by Shirley Collins, an English singer; the song is English/Scottish but the lines about the afterlives are from The Maid and the Palmer, a ballad collected from an Irish traveller.
