Hark and Boo!
Welcome to I Pod a Spell On You - Edy Hurst's Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches Podcast, the show where we speak with Disabled and Neurodivergent Artists from across the industry and use magic, spell and best guesses from pre-1700s literature to help solve all their (and our) problems.
In our inaugural episode Edy Hurst, comedian, martian fighter and now magic botherer, makes a grand discoverie about his family. Starting on his spirit quest, Edy speaks with contemporary witch and acclaimed writer, Jennifer Lane to learn more about his newfound powers and provide her with a much needed solution to being possessed by the dreaded social media doomscroll.
Jennifer Lane is an author and green witch based in Lancashire. Her first two books, The Wheel: A Witch’s Path to Healing Through Nature (September Publishing, 2021) and The Witch’s Survival Guide: Spells for Healing From Stress and Burnout (2023), focused on how witchcraft and Paganism can bring us back in touch with the natural world.
In 2018, she won the Northern Writers’ Award for her fiction and she has been published by The Observer, Vogue, RSPB, The Wildlife Trusts, and BBC.
