Episode #35 - 27th September of the Weird Tales Radio Show podcast (available on iTunes, Spotify etc) looks at the folklore surrounding Michaelmas – did you know it was once known as "Pack Rag Day"? Plus we meet St Cyprian, the patron saint of sorcerers and witches – and ask how did he get that gig?
