このコンテンツについて

The world of folklore is a diverse, thriving mix of ancient traditions, old gods, strange beasts and curious tales.

Every land has their own folk traditions, and while some themes are universal, each has something special about them that makes them unique.


Join stand-up comedian, writer, and folklore PhD candidate Dan Mitchell as he dives into the dark oceans of folk, hoping to find a never before found denizen of the deep. Featuring exclusive interviews with academics, folklorists, scientists, poets, magical practitioners, and many more special guests from around the world, Uncommon Folk hopes to unearth the bones of folklore and resurrect them with incantations long forgotten.

From deep dives to short nuggets, Uncommon Folk will enlighten, enthuse, and entertain the folk community.
