Butter the Devil You Know: The Irish Spirits Podcast Reunion

We're back! For one night, and one night only...and for a devilishly good time!

Chatting all things satanic, we have reunited for a one-off special this Halloween to chat all things the devil in Ireland! Of course paired with a specially crafted cocktail by our phantom bartender, Alex - he concocted a more palatable version of a 'scaltheen'  

A drink that would make the Hellfire Club themselves proud, they featured heavily in this episode alongside 'satanic panic' in Ireland, will o' the wisps and of course, Loftus Hall!

We wanted to thank each and every listener who have supported us since 2020 and hope that our little world of ghosts, folklore and drinking have entertained you over the years x
