About Six Captivating Folklore Stories From Finland

Six Captivating Folklore Stories from Finland: where folk horror meets historical fantasy. Stones, waters and cities remember—and demand a price. Olavinlinna’s ghosts, forest-cover as a doorway between times, a lake-dwelling näkki, a raging poltergeist, a dark Tooth Fairy bargain, and Helsinki’s Grey Lady weave myth with the modern day. Written for audio: breathing paragraphs, clear prose, and brief cultural notes. Who wins freedom—and who becomes the keeper of memory? Themes include guilt, binding bargains, and the border between worlds. Sound: kantele and modern dread.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
