As promised, Andreas' interview with me on the Hagstone Podcast. I had forgotten how wide-ranging it was; folklore, art, the climate crisis, politics, magic. Hope you enjoy it.

Okay. I just want to say that if you buy my EP from Bandcamp (pre-orders start on Feb. 17th - I'll have links then), you'll get my liner notes. They're sixteen, SIXTEEN pages long and crammed full of lyrics, musical info, and scholarship about the ballads, and I'm freakin' proud of 'em. That is all.
