Podcast Q&A

Why did you start this show?

I got addicted to podcasts, they are just so human. when my friend stopped doing hers I was sad. I was asking her to do more, then she said “why don’t you?” And I thought Yea why not? I totally should! I wanted to talk about witchy life with kids and magical things that light me up with other spiritual souls. So I took a chance, and attempted one with a friend who bowed out at episode 10. By then it was a way of life.

What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?

I hope they gain confidence in their witchy life, helpful tips and tricks to help live their best witchy life. Manifest happiness and feel connected. That it doesn’t have to be instagram worthy, as long as intent is pure it can be done, one spell as a time. Bite size witchcraft with The Friendly Green Witch!

Which episode should someone start with?

Ho that depends! The very first few are very different to how I am now. I have really transformed and improved with age, like a fine mead! The 11th episode about manifesting is good, and I feel a turning point in my podcast.

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

I loved recording Magic of the Sea. It was fun to add the sound effects. A joy to record. I think it’s the most helpful in terms of witchy learning. Also the sister episode about ghosts of the coasts. Ouija and the Sceptic Witch was a right fun episode too, and most surprising at that.

Which episode are you most proud of?

My Psychic Mum was a massive episode for me, and quite personal. I listened to it a bunch of times as a type of inner healing. It really helped me.

What is your vision for your show?

I would love to be known and loved as a professional witch. Perhaps even create Bell Witch camp festival! Making an income would be nice, but also going to events and public speaking about witch life.

What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?

So many! I love pods. Canny Crystals the Podcast, Heart Starts Pounding, Haunted Uk, WITCH, Uncanny to name a few!

How did you come up with the name for your podcast?

I’m a witch that camps in a baby bell tent called Delilah my kids. There used to be a few of us, so we became The Bell Witches. That combined with a play of words- The Blair witch project- The Bell Witch podcast But I did not know about the USA Bell Witch legend until after, when everyone asked me if it was about her. So instead of changing my name, I ran with it. Creating a tongue in cheek trailer for the podcast!

Tell us a bit about yourself

I’m a Green Witch, basted in West Yorkshire bringing up two little witchlings and a house full of reptiles. I love gardening, poetry, podcasting (obviously) altar work and journaling. Dislike slugs eating my vegetables, olives and wind chimes ! I’m a creative and seem to have many hobbies and projects on the go. I love jogging as it gets me in nature. Live to camp in the summer. Have dreams of becoming a famous witch!
