This week we are talking about the history and mythology of Logos! Another huge thank you to @diesclara.bsky.social for her amazing work and for contributing an insight into her process of designing the Ladies of Lore logo to this episode 🩷 open.spotify.com/episode/2SyZ...

I'm so happy with how this logo for @ladiesoflore.bsky.social came out! In case the title isn't obvious enough, India's podcast is about female figures in folklore and mythology from all around the world. She wanted a redesign that had a global perspective, without it being particularly Eurocentric.

Loved working on this logo! I'll share some more details on it soon, but I love these chances to take small peeks at mythologies from all around the world 😊

gigantic thank you to @diesclara.bsky.social for the amazing new podcast logo. Can’t express how much I love it or how grateful I am 🥰

new logo, who dis?

It’s Ladies of Lore’s first birthday 🩷🎂 when I started this podcast I felt a bit silly. I didn’t think anyone would listen to what a girl on her spare bedroom floor had to say. But to my absolute surprise, quite a lot of you did. I am so grateful for all of you, and so excited for the next year!

Two things happened today: 1) I was formally diagnosed with raging ADHD (to the surprise of nobody that knows me) 2) I hit 5k on Spotify! Thank you all so much for everything, this podcast has been the one thing I’ve been able to stick to long term and for that in itself I am proud and grateful🩷

If you want to learn about the history of Fairies while also hearing some amazing improvised music about the history of fairies, you should 100% listen to the episode I’ve just realised with @rpgmajor.bsky.social 🧚 open.spotify.com/episode/1QjZ...

I don't know what's happened in the last few weeks but everything has just got really exciting all of a sudden. So happy and content in my little mythology world and can't wait to share it all with you guys.

Had such a fun time talking all things Snow White with you today Missy! Can't wait to share it with everyone 🍎🪞

For those that follow the podcast and have ever wanted to ask me a question - I will be doing a little Q&A session soon! So if you have anything to ask, let me know by replying to this post! It’ll be a video Q&A which is new for me but I’m excited to give it a whirl🩷

On New Years Eve, I wrote a list of things I’d like to achieve in 2025. I’ve done this before and, honestly, I don’t usually do the things. But one of my goals was to reach 1K followers on Spotify, I didn’t really think this was achievable but I put it down anyway. Today I hit 4K🥺So grateful🧡

I’ve only gone and finally got this week’s episode up! This week we are revisiting the world of Disney and talking all things Cinderella 👟✨ open.spotify.com/episode/1tUh...

Episode will be a lil late this week owing to the fact I have had a chest infection and don’t want to cough all over you while I talk about mythological women, I am so sorry and promise it’ll be with you imminently 🥺

I know you didn’t think I was going to let pride month go by without talking about Queer mythological women right? open.spotify.com/episode/19aW...

@ladiesoflore.bsky.social the latest podcast episode, amazing!! Loved the topic, but I want to quickly mention that your opening words are much appreciated!! Kudos to you! For everyone else, give this podcast a listen. It’s fantastic!!!

So excited that the very first episode of Heroines of History is now live over on my Patreon! Really hope you all enjoy💖 patreon.com/LadiesofLore

For the first time ever, Ladies of Lore is on tour this week and we’re talking about the wonderful women of Suffolk! open.spotify.com/episode/1GIz...

I also am on emergency vet visit #4 of the year which is actually a new record for me. This time we had a very painful broken claw, why do these things always happen out of hours?

I’m so excited to be back on the ball next week. I had a schedule change followed by a lovely holiday in the Lake District which has meant I haven’t given you guys a full episode in FAR too long. But I was busy looking at pretty views, visiting Wordsworth’s grave and eating gingerbread ⛰️

I’ve just seen A Knight’s Tale the musical in Manchester and honestly it was the wildest show. Did not expect to see Count Adhemar singing Rolling In The Deep but here we are and it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Have owned new knives from Ninja for not even a whole month and I’ve already cut two fingers. One of them while unpacking the knives the day they were delivered. So on the one hand pop off Ninja because these knives are great. On the other hand, I should not be allowed them.

6 and a bit minutes of me talking about exciting updates including the Discord server and Patreon 💖 open.spotify.com/episode/7rj9...

I told you I'd get it ready in April and I have kept my word (just about)! The Ladies of Lore Patreon is now ready to join along with the Discord Server to talk all things women in mythology, folklore and history! patreon.com/LadiesofLore

If you ever wondered what a mythology podcast episode with improvised musical numbers scattered throughout would sound like, then you’re in luck. Because @rpgmajor.bsky.social and I have just released our joint episode about The Sirens! 💖 open.spotify.com/episode/6IF1...

This week’s episode is a lil late I am very sorry! It will be with you all today 🧡

I had the best weekend too, an amazing recording session with @rpgmajor.bsky.social creating a Ladies of Lore (the musical) episode which I can’t wait to share. These guys are SO insanely talented and you should all listen to their incredible improvised musical RPG podcast immediately 💖

Happiest of Mondays when Ethel Cain announces a new album and a tour.

This week’s episode is now live and it’s the second part of our deep dive into all things Guinevere 💖 open.spotify.com/episode/4AnW...

What a lovely notification to receive, I’m in the charts! Massive honour to have me in there with actually really smart people with really good podcasts, I like today. Thank you all💖

I woke up this morning to 400+ new Spotify subscribers, I don’t even know how to express how grateful I feel and all of the lovely fuzzy feelings I have right now💖

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had wonderful and restful weekends 💖

This week we are beginning our deep dive into Guinevere! I’ve loved creating this and hope you enjoy it too! open.spotify.com/episode/4SjR...

Upgraded the recording space a little and it’s feeling much better! Excited to get this week’s episode to you all.

I like how Bluesky doesn’t crash all the time.

This is super cool, will be reading all of this as soon as I can.

The @nfsengland.bsky.social builds on previous work, but more especially the Survey of English Folklore: 1955-1964 which was undertaken by University College London and is now held in the National Archive #nfs #nfsengland

If I sneeze one more time today I genuinely think my head is going to burst

Women's rights are human rights. They aren't negotiable on International Women's Day or any day. Here in Illinois, we celebrate the contributions of the incredible women in Illinois' history and honor them by continuing to push our state forward.

If for any reason you are into stories about women dismantling the patriarchy from the inside, enacting vengeance from the shadows, and embracing their sexuality—in King Arthur’s court—I may have a trilogy for you. Link: bookshop.org/lists/books-... #booksky📚💙

I’ve gone full Alexander Hamilton and can’t stop writing about Guinevere so I may very well have to do a Ladies of Lore first and split this across two episodes. I just have so much to tell you all!

Happy Friday guys! We did it. We made it. Well done all of you 👏

Today is World Book Day.

In my book Between Two Rivers, I dedicate a chapter to the origin of rule by a single person and ideas about the quintessential king in ancient Mesopotamia. I also explore queens, including the very enigmatic Ku-Bau, a tavern-keeper turned queen in the ancient city of Kish.
