The Otherworld and How to Get There!

Story Archaeology

William Robinson: Tallanbanna with cloud front. 1988 So many of the old Irish stories tell of an Otherworld that lies so close to our own. If you want to discover what the stories have to say about getting there, what you might find when you arrive, and when, or if, you might return, then join Chris in this audio-article exploration. Apologies for the quality of recording in Isolde's opening message. When we have fully implemented the new recording set-up, allowing effective recording while Isolde is lying down, it will be much improved. Links to podcast episodes referenced in this audio-article.
