Show Notes

For centuries, sailors crossing The Minch have spoken of an unnatural calm that comes before sudden, violent storms. According to Hebridean folklore, these tempests are raised by the Blue Men, blue-skinned sea beings who rise from the depths to challenge ship captains in rhyming verse. Those who fail the challenge are said to be dragged beneath the waves, their ships lost to the strait forever.
