Rook di goo, There's blood in the shoe – the latest Weird Tales Radio Show is here for you!

12/1/2019

In Episode 47 of the Weird Tales Radio Showwe all chant “Rook di goo, There’s blood in the shoe” as we look at the horrid origins of another traditional pantomime – this time Cinderella. Got a woodburning stove? Have we got some log-burning folklore for you. We also go Urban Mythbusting - was the Ploughman’s Lunch really only invented in the 1950s by a cheese marketing committee? And in our Practical Magick slot, we have a hooddo spell for container work. Available on all the usual podcast platforms including iTunes, Google & Spotify.
