Cutty Dyer

September 24, 2026 · 43 min

Show notes

Content Warning: as always, this episode contains two deliciously compelling folklore retellings. However, this week the focus is the murderous Cutty Dyer and it was extremely difficult not to write something rather gory and bloodthirsty. So we do suggest that you don't listen to this in the car with young children or alone in the dark at night, especially if you live in Ashburton in Devon. Most especially, don't go looking for Cutty Dyer under the bridge there!
