Shownotes Transcript

In the quiet, misty valleys of northern Europe and beyond, where the wind whispers secrets through the heather and the rugged hills keep ancient tales close to their heart, there existed a peculiar and eerie tradition—the ritual of the sin-eater.

Surprise! Niamh keeps her word for once and does an episode she teased months ago. This was just enough for a short. The Sin Eater in Fargo was a huge inspiration for this one, and given the research out there, he was portrayed perfectly!

Please enjoy while getting ready for bed or over your morning coffee. Don't forget to say hi on socials [especially the accompanying tiktok/reel] and let us know what you thought.
