    Best of Both Worlds … True Story!
    Not only does Icy research her stories and give you verifiable information, but she is a great storyteller too! So you get a bunch of well researched information, with great insights from someone who has been studying this stuff a long time. AND … you get a great story, because she is genuinely interested in the subject matter as well as her audience! It IS the best of both worlds. Get a cup/glass of your favorite beverage and sit back!

    Excellent
    I stumbled upon this podcast while looking into Florography, and it was a lovely find. Excellent pacing and story delivery, great and varied subjects, and the episodes feel well researched and informative despite their relatively small size - all of which I love. Thanks for making a great podcast, Icy!

    BIG CATS!
    A short and charming dive into fascinating topics. Thank you for the Big Cats episode! Now I know the answer to Tana French's supremely frustrating unsolved mystery "In the Woods." MEOW.

    A Most Magical podcast
    Imagine, if you will, an enchanted library of facts and fancies on most every folkloric subject under the sun. This would be it! Truly a treasure... read and researched by Icy Sedgwick who definitely needs the title ‘“Dame” before her name! I am so grateful for this podcast!

    Love at first listen
    Found this podcast when researching Doppelgänger folklore a little while ago and never looked back. Icy is a great storyteller and each episode is a perfect blend of facts and fun. There’s something very cozy about it, definitely recommend.

    My latest listen...
    Stumbled across this podcast a couple days ago, and have been binging my way through it at work- night shift- and I love it! I’m a big time myths, legends, ghost and folklore junkie but it’s great to learn new things. Definitely worth a listen!
  • SarBo19
    Concise and interesting!
    I'm just getting into folklore and love this pod. Each ep is short and to the point but still jam-packed with intrigue and info. Icy's cadence is easy to follow and she is approachable and not too academic. Plus, her accent is the icing on the cake - perfect enhancement to the tales. I've learned a lot already!
  • MaggieLGirl
    The most interesting & fun folklore podcast!
    As humans we are forever curious about where a practice, superstition or folklore came about. Icy does amazing research and delivers each podcast with information from all over the world and blends a wicked good sense of humor. Then when something comes up around that subject, you can say to friends , did you know that..... and share that particular folklore and her podcast!

    A Must for Lovers of Folklore!
    I wish I could leave an unbiased review but I can not, because simply put, I love this podcast. The content is awesome, the playful tone is refreshing, & it doesn’t hurt that Icy’s accent is like music to my yankee ears. I find myself always looking forward to the next episode!
  • Xcheer85
    WONDERful!!!
    Set aside that listening to Icy talk about anything is a glorious auditory experience regardless of the subject on which she is speaking. This podcast is fun and informative while also being direct and concise. A charming sense of humor and a world of information on various arcane subjects.
  • Me and the monkeys
    An amazing research
    This woman is amazing! Her research is vast and magical. Right down to her voice her storytelling skills are enchanting and encapsulating. I listened to every episode in one day while building walls and running electric in my house. I was literally all caught up before my children got home from school. I couldn’t stop listening. I want to replay them all tomorrow.

    A rare gem
    Icy’s podcasts are well researched, engaging and will leave you wanting more. While she does offer opinions about what she’s learned, there is no judgement - you’ll want to do your own research to learn more!

    Freaking Folklore
    I love this podcast, Icy explores the background of some of the most mystical British folklore. So much fun. Plus listening to Icy’s accent is beautiful. It’s a win!
  • shadowsinstone
    A great extension of the blog!
    I’ve been really getting into Icy’s folklore blog, which she keeps over at icysedgwick.com so having a quick listen to a weekly bit of folklore is even better. Fans of Lore might like Icy’s brief cadence which is refreshing.
