Host Kristy LaPointe is joined by actor, comedian and best friend Adele Dicks (@AdeleDicks) to recap Killing Eve episode 3 “Don’t I Know You”. They chat about Eve & Villanelle mirroring Buffy & Angel, how short actors are and Adele can’t help but make a Kill Bill pun. They praise Sandra Oh, geeking out over her incredibly deserved Emmy nomination and Adele recommends another amazing Jodie Comer performance. If you can’t get enough of Adele & Kristy’s banter and undeniable chemistry you can watch them play enemies here in Yoga 101. IMDB Synopsis When Villanelle kills a Chinese colonel at a kink clinic in Berlin, Eve and Bill travel out to investigate. While Eve and Bill chase up a number of promising leads, Villanelle enjoys the cat-and-mouse of their proximity. But as they draw closer, Eve comes to realize that this is much more than a game.

We've got six great pieces of music for you, some chat about the Festival of Midsummer, a really exciting section from Rhonda Carpenter's Celtic novel, The Mark of a Druid and some listener contributions to bring you - a poem and a beautiful story.Oh, and don't forget our regular trip to the highlands to meet up with old Duncan in another trip to the Dragon's Head for a story from our resident Scottish Shannachie.

Daryl says: After a brief spell in Canada I returned to Wiltshire, UK in Summer 2004 and in 2008 have started writing music again, concentrating on a more acoustic, folky style with the intention of recording and releasing a new CD in 2009 with the working title of The Storyteller. "The Storyteller - This was the first new song written by myself in quite a while and the foundation of this whole project. The inspiration came back in August '08 while at the annual Artemis Gathering where I finally got to see Damh The Bard perform. It was such a wonderful experience and I was caught up in the music and stories he had to tell. When I arrived home on the Sunday evening I lifted my guitar and very quickly the Storyteller was written." To find out more about Willo's Song go to their Myspace Page or visit the Contributor Page. I Forgot by the Witchy Godmother Witchy Godmother has been a storyteller all her life. Probably not the best when asked at 5 who tangled up her father’s fishing line.

And so begins the tale of this amazing lady who has written an extremely moving and evocative piece called I Forgot which deals with the issues of advancing years in a way that's suitable for all ages! To find out more about Witchy go to her Myspace Page or visit the Contributor Page. Midsummer's Night by Jillian LaDage Jillian says: In a way my initial exploration into the people we call the Celts had nothing to do with the Celts themselves but more to do with my growing inclination and curiosity with the world and events that surrounded them. My broadening interest with the migrating Celts has been a four year journey of writing, reading and traveling which has led me to this place and the release of my debut album, The Ancestry, on my label Tarith Cote, in December 2008. I am excited to welcome you to the site and share through extension the music and the musings behind it. About this track, she says: May/June 2008 Midsummer the midway point between Beltaine (May day) and Lúnasa. The Celtic day began at dusk; the fires extinguished and lit at Beltaine would be silenced and lit again at the solstice. Futures were read from the number and appearance of the bon fires. Sun wise processions asking for protection were held in the fields, while St. John's Wort, considered the 'blessed plant' in Wales, was gathered and placed over the doors of houses and buildings and in Scotland cast into the fires. To find out more about Jillian LaDage go to her Website or visit the Contributor Page. The Sleep of Angus Og by Andy Guthrie We are incredibly privileged to have Andy as a Contributor to the show. He tells stories that are alive in his family today and that have come down through the ages.

You can read more about Andy on his Myspace page or on our Contributor Page.

The Gathering, The Mark of a Druid, Pt.1 by Rhonda Carpenter When twenty-six-year-old Eve McCormick awakes, the images from her nightmare are indelible. The dream feels so real she must force herself to get a grip. This experience is just the beginning for Eve, a Los Angeles clinical hypnotherapist and researcher investigating whether reincarnation is fact or fiction. Unstoppable visions of an ancient lifetime steal days from her. The danger escalates when she wakes up physically injured and marked with a strange symbol. While Eve battles the past to maintain her sanity and safety, her project is jeopardized as another researcher’s attempts to take over. One partner dies and another is accused of inappropriate conduct. Eve and her friend, Dr. Andrea McMurray, don’t believe in coincidence and probe their shared visions for answers. On the other side of the Atlantic, Welshman Ryerson Sanders is haunted by his dreams and believes Eve’s research project can help him. For both of them, an ancient Celtic prophecy and long-sought revenge entangles the past with the present. A druidess and a shape-shifter must join to save the druid way of life, while a queen conspires to kill Erin’s only high king. Will the oaths and agendas of the past reach across the centuries to strengthen or to destroy? Follow their stories in her podcast novel The Mark of a Druid, which you can also hear on Podiobooks. you can also buy this book at Amazon. Find out more about Rhonda on her Website/Blog or on her Contributor Page.

Listener Feedback from Jen We read a beautiful message from Jen. At the end of the show we announce the BYKI competition winners - yay! Fairy Tale by Omnia With eight CDs and a DVD to their name, OMNIA is one of the pioneers of the "PaganFolk" movement in Europe and has harvested international acclaim on many Pagan, Folk, Medieval, Gothic and Fantasy festivals, as well as in many theatres. OMNIA's sound is a mix of the deep earthy tones of Luka Aubri-Krieger's didgeridoo, the incomparable harp, hurdy-gurdy and bodhran playing of Jennifer Evans-van der Harten, the unmistakable "DADGAD" guitar-groove of Joe Hennon, the flutes, bouzouki, drums, and ironic dialogue of front man Steve "Sic" Evans-van der Harten and the deep tribal drumbeats of Mich Rozek. All of this is entwined and bound by haunting and powerful vocals singing in English, Gaelic, Breton, Latin, Finnish, German and Hindi...

Brighid: The Triple Goddess of the Celtic Irish by Patricia Monaghan An avid traveler, Patricia has researched earth spirituality and goddess worship on three continents. She has traveled widely in Europe, especially in Ireland; she holds dual US/Irish citizenship and has edited two anthologies of contemporary Irish-American writing. She is at work on an Encyclopedia of Celtic mythology and folklore as well as a book of poems based on Irish myth. Here we have an excerpt from Goddesses and Heroines about the Goddess of Imbolg, Brighid. You can read more about Patricia on her website or her Contributor Page. Lyonesse by Brocc Brocc came into being over the summer of 2008 - a product of gales and rain in the woods and a badger who came to stay and has become our symbol. The songs this group weaves tells tales of myth and legend and the old beliefs of our lands and peoples. We embody the history of this land ... and we want to give something back. Our music is timeless, evocative of earlier, simpler times. The instruments reflect our love of forgotten timbres - we play english & swedish bagpipes, woodwinds and recorders, the medieval hurdy-gurdy, mandola and bandurria, and a host of percussion. This is our offering............... You can find out more details about Brocc on Myspace or on their Contributor Page on our website. Anait, Queen of the Shee in Alba by Andy Guthrie We are incredibly privileged to have Andy as a Contributor to the show. He tells stories that are alive in his family today and that have come down through the ages. He says: The old Legends are a passion and a Joy, and the writings of Fiona Macleod are inspiration, in all I do. I have been a Head gardener of 31 years for large house, and sill working, I see the years come and go from spring to winner, and love it all. I retell the old stories. You can read more about Andy on his Myspace page or on our Contributor Page. Scarborough Fair by Skully Skully has graciouslly allowed us to play his rousing version of Scarborough Fair from his album Irish Makeover. The vocals on this track are by Annette Buckley. "These are songs that have been performed and sung for generations", says Skully, "from the sean-nos singer beside a fire in an old thatched cottage to grand orchestrated versions, these songs have been passed down through the years". You can find out more details about Skully on Myspace or on their Contributor Page on our website. Celts v Romans: Diarmid's 1st Battle by Conor Diarmid is a Briton form the Cantiac tribe of the South East. He and his friends are preparing to face their adult rituals when a threat comes from across the channel, a threat of the very worst kind. The news from the Gauls is that the Romans plan to invade the Britannic Isles, once they have conquered Gaul. A force must be sent to Gaul to help them in a great battle, to drive the Romans Out. But there are traitors at home, who must be dealt with quickly. But which tribe are they? What is their plan? Will Diarmid and his friends be brave enough to face these trials? Will Aedan the Druid have the wisdom to guide them? OR will the life, and the people, they love be destroyed by the Roman power? You can find out more about Conor on our Contributor page or get his book from Amazon. Morrighan's Quest by Laura Powers Step into a world that is steeped in the imagery of another era. Reach through the portal of time with a mystical experience at Stonehenge (Circle of Stone), fly on the raven's wing as Morrighan prepares to meet her destiny (Morrighan's Quest) and journey to the quiet place "in-between my thoughts and my dreams" (My Avalon) that so many of us seek. There is something at work here beyond the usual scope of imagery and songs. You're invited to experience the musical journey now… You can find out more about Laura at her website or on our Contributor page. Imbolg, from Land, Sea & Sky by Shae Clancy and Francine Nicholson Shae Clancy and Francine Nicholson have collected essays from Celtic scholars to form a fascinating book that helps to explain the difference between Celtic fact (what we actually know) from Celtic fiction (what we speculate). Sadly, the book has never been published and Francine passed away in 2003. Shae has enabled the book to be published on the web. Francine Nicholson, M.A., was a librarian in New England and scholar of all things Celtic. The loss of her passing, perhaps appropriately on 1 February 2003 (Imbolc), is poignantly crystallised by fellow Celtic scholar, David Stifter: 'It is very sad news to hear that Francine Nicholson has left us. She had a vast and astounding erudition and knowledge of Celtic mythology and folklore, and her contributions . . . were a great source of enrichment and information. I feel it as a heavy loss that she will no longer contribute to our discussions.' You can read Land, Sea and Sky on Shae's website. Listener Feedback Matt We read an email from Matt, who raises a question about identifying the characters from Irish Mythology. Brighid by Kellianna Kellianna can be found on Myspace, but her own website provides lots of useful information, including the lyrics to her songs, another chance to listen to more music as well as being able to buy her two CDs. Her music can also be purchased through iTunes. You can find out more details about Kellianna on her Contributor Page on our website. The track she has given us permission to play is called Brighid, and you can find the lyrics on her site. About the track she says: This is another song where the lyrics were written by Heidi Couture for an Imbolc gathering in February of 2002. I wrote the guitar part and again it was another perfect marriage! On the CD Laney Goodman adds some beautiful woodwind tracks and Tina Horn kicks in on the djembe.

Trefuilngid: True indeed, O Fintan, you are an excellent shannachie in holding the memory of this land.

The dream feels so real she must force herself to get a grip. This experience is just the beginning for Eve, a Los Angeles clinical hypnotherapist and researcher investigating whether reincarnation is fact or fiction. Unstoppable visions of an ancient lifetime steal days from her. The danger escalates when she wakes up physically injured and marked with a strange symbol. While Eve battles the past to maintain her sanity and safety, her project is jeopardized as another researcher’s attempts to take over. One partner dies and another is accused of inappropriate conduct. Eve and her friend, Dr. Andrea McMurray, don’t believe in coincidence and probe their shared visions for answers. On the other side of the Atlantic, Welshman Ryerson Sanders is haunted by his dreams and believes Eve’s research project can help him. For both of them, an ancient Celtic prophecy and long-sought revenge entangles the past with the present. A druidess and a shape-shifter must join to save the druid way of life, while a queen conspires to kill Erin’s only high king. Will the oaths and agendas of the past reach across the centuries to strengthen or to destroy? Find the book at Podiobooks.com and at themarkofadruid.com.
