I’m taking a wee break from our regular podcast and will be back soon to dive deep and explore who the Good People really are, but in the meantime, I’m delighted to be able to bring you a few wonderful tales of Faerie.

This week I’m sweeping you away to Wales for the tale of 'The Lad who returned from Faerye'. I hope you will enjoy this tale; it has its ups and downs and always leaves me with a little tear in the eye...

PATREON

To celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon. If you enjoy my podcast and videos, please consider becoming a Patron, and supporting me on Patreon.


There are 4 levels or tiers within our Patreon, the first begins at only $3 per month and each level offers additional benefits and content. These range from:

having your name included in our YouTube videos,
having access to exclusive Patreon-only videos,
to receiving handpicked gifts from our online store or e-books, all Faerie related of course.

Did you know that many of the most famous and popular tales began as dark, cautionary tales? Our Patreon exclusive videos will lean toward the darker side of Folk and Faerie tales, this allows us to explore some of the original tales which have been watered-down over time to be kid-friendly.

Please visit my Patreon page and take a look around.

A Special thank you to our Patrons for this episode;

April Proctor, Brett Manning, Janice Silva, Tsu, Abby Richmond, Donna Witteried, Brian Bruck and Shayminty.

My YouTube Channel

Encounters with the Good People has launched two new series of YouTube videos: 'Folk Tales & Faerie Tales' and 'YouTube Shorts'.

Relax and put your feet up (or lay your head down...) as I read well-known and lesser-known Folk Tales & Faerie Tales in a soft, gentle voice accompanied by soothing and delightful images. Sure to bring a sense of pleasant calm to the mind and spirit, these videos are suitable for everyone in the family to enjoy with a cuppa or as a bedtime story. To request a Folk Tale or Faerie Tale you would like Kitty to read, simply send an email with all the details to: yourencounterstories@gmail.com


Fancy a little whimsy on the run? If you give me one minute, I will give you some philosophical, conversation starters, ghost tales or Faerie tales in my new series of 'YouTube Shorts'.

If you haven’t already, please pop into my channel on YouTube, hit that Subscribe button and also the ‘notifications’ bell icon. Please ‘Like’ my videos and leave a Comment too, as this helps make YouTube ‘notice’ my channel and support me to find an audience. Nice! And if you know anyone who might enjoy my videos, please Share with them too. Cheers, Kitty.
