I can’t believe I’ve only just found this podcast. I heard Icy’s name mentioned by Kate Cherrell at Burials and Beyond. I’m now working my way through the amazing back catalogue. Well researched, engaging and just really entertaining.
I’ve just taken delivery of Rebel Folklore and will definitely be looking up Icys other books.
Icy’s north east voice is a pleasure to listen to. Also , the Christmas ghost story is wonderful the story teller Owen Stanton absolutely makes the magical story
Love this podcast!! It’s a taste of home !! Having left Newcastle in 2001 !
Icy has a great accent love the subject matters
Icy’s north east voice is a pleasure to listen to.
I’ve only just found out about this podcast after hearing Icy on another Geordie podcast How Haunted with Rob Kirkup. It’s so good to listen to a well informed and researched podcast created by a woman. Icy has an excellent leftfield sense of humour. Another great thing is the lack of adverts, I hope it stays this way.
