Do you share your takeaway, not full-on Smithy level, but Thom admits she's not sharing her gyozas, while Dunn's a bit more generous… or does it depend what you've ordered? Be honest now, did you share the kids' Easter chocolate… or just “help them out” a little too much? We get into the world of Vinted, what on earth is acceptable packaging, and when does it just become just wrong?! Plus, what do you do when you've only got one loo in the house and your teenager's in there with their phone like they've moved in permanently. We also play a round of Break A Take and share the little things people have done this week that made us question... life as we get older And Dr Dunn has discovered a spray to stop that “over 40s” smell… apparently it's a thing, which is slightly concerning for both of us. No burping this episode - but there is mention of a Chode and a d'wang! Think girth

My guest for this episode is paranormal investigator, researcher and writer Kate Ray. In addition to scientific rigour, Kate's approach to investigating hauntings is influenced by appreciating how these sorts of happenings were understood and described in pre-industrial societies and preserved in the local folklore. A good example of this is how what might be described as poltergeist activity in the present day could in the past have been considered the actions of a displeased house spirit, or fairy. Kate has written extensively on a range of Fortean subjects, including two books inspired by the Wollaton Gnomes case and regular articles appearing in Haunted magazine. In addition, she hosts a faery inspired podcast called Hare in the Hawthorn. In the interview I talk with Kate about how her career in paranormal investigation began and has developed around the connection between hauntings and the presence of beings which might best be described as fairies. The conversation opens out into a wide-ranging discussion on the nature of paranormal phenomena and the role that experiencers have as part of that. I also talk with Kate about the Wollaton Gnomes case and we conclude with her relating a very unusual entity encounter she had whilst visiting an ancient earthwork known as Wayland's Smithy. You can find further details about Kate's paranormal investigations and podcast at her Youtube channel Hare in the Hawthorn.
