    Perfect balance show
    Easy to listen to; not over reaching or brash. Suggested story- Seath Mór Sgorfhiaclach was a clan chief and formidable warrior. His grave is protected by cursed stones and an iron grate was installed to protect the public after too many people became "victims of the curse." oldweirdscotland.com/tag/rothiemurc…

    Soothing Bedtime Stories for Grownups
    Daniel’s lilt draws you through his stories and into worlds of myth and dream. Perfect for closing the day and drifting from waking to dreaming. An excellent balance of informative and creative, generous and inclusive of other storytellers to boot! Don’t miss this podcast.

    Wonderful stories and entertaining chats
    Time melts away as I listen to the stories so beautifully told by Daniel and his guests! I’m very happy I found this podcast and I’m working my way back through all the available episodes

    Truly professional storytelling
    Daniel tells stories in two parts: global tales that are magical and exciting, and the stories from his life. I love coming home after a long day and being swept away into different worlds with many different perspectives, as well as cheering for him in the audience of his first Muay Thai fight! I have started singing along with the opening song and love feeling my mind relax as I prepare for the stories. As a musician, I can really appreciate everything that goes into the preparation of the stories and the life that is carefully blown into them. Bravo Daniel, for bringing magic to the world.

    Enjoying all the stories
    I have been enjoying all the stories. Daniel is very engaging to listen to. I am hoping to hear one that’s not too scary for my four year old as I’d love to share one with her. This podcast makes me want to do a better job telling her stories. On another note, as someone who did Martial Arts for years, I like hearing his Muay Thai journey.

    A wonderful discovery
    I love, love, love this podcast. Just a few episodes in, and it already feels like a friend who says, grab your hat ... we're off on a journey and I won't tell you where, not just yet. Always somewhere new, always something interesting. And even when it's a tale you think you knew already, guess again. Give it a try.
  • Duogsri
    Simply amazing.
    Well vocalized and engaging story telling. Looking forward to hearing all the tales!
  • pushkickpurr
    Amazing!
    I met this storyteller in Thailand and have been constantly impressed with his creativity and wit. The heart he puts into his work is wonderful. Enjoy!
  • The Ancient World
    Great Storytelling
    A strong showing out of the gate. Great storytelling with an almost "meditative" delivery. Also name-checks Neil Gaiman in first ep (& in pod title if I'm not mistaken ;) What's not to like? Enjoy!
  • Ari-LM
    Really well done!
    House of Legends is super interesting and a definite must-listen. Can’t recommend enough!
  • alansisto
    Ancient tradition, modern technology
    Storytelling is an ancient art, and Daniel's show brings us all an opportunity to experience it for ourselves. After all, most of us don't have storytellers in our villages anymore. What a rare treat this is; incredibly well-executed, and a real pleasure to listen to!

    Daniel is a first-rate storyteller, and these tales are told just right. This is your Go-To guy for the legends of the Gael, or any other tales he offers! Great stuff!

Thank you for delivering the gift of story to us adults. I’m remembering how transformative shared story can be. Also- your voice is so captivating! I look forward to each episode.
