STILL ISOLATED FROM MY FELLOW PODCASTER!Hi it's TTA (Andy) here with a seasonal morsel to keep you going until the "owls" can get back together.With Pancake Day loomimg up we take a look at the origins of Shroving and some of the tradtions that have sprung up around the day.

TTA - The Time Travel Angler.Fellow podcaster with TRB. I am soldering on through life at a somewhat reduced pace. Driver, drone pilot, artist, composer, photographer and generally a dog minder for Ozzbert Scroggins aka Ozzy who accompanies us on our excursions (normally hoping to bite someone).Bored yet? you wait until you hear the podcast.

Podcaster TRB gives us a brief but candid look at his life so far here in Dorset. I have known him since the mid nineties and to date it has been a priveledge to be classed as his friend. He is a published poet and I think it best if we leave the rest to him.Enjoy and comment!www.thearcanaowls.co.uktrb@the arcanaowls.co.uk

In the episode we welcome back Rob (The Runic Bard , one of the two arcana owls) who has produced a great episode from his place, as we still have not managed to hook up as a team in the studio. We hope you enjoy it.Once the Spring gets here hopefully we be able to add some video content, but in the meantime it is our intent to get one or both of us on the air each week.Thanks for listening.

Today we explore the potential of "other worlds", portals or maybe visitations throughout time.We are using the green childern of wulf pit or woolpit as a prime example.This is just the tip of the iceberg to whet your appetite.This will start the opening of a whole can of worms as yet untouched by us.HAPPY NEW YEAR!
