CwS - Amy Douglas Part 2
Episode 59
Thursday, 16 October, 2025
Welcome to part two of my conversation with British storyteller, Amy Douglas. If you haven’t listened to part one, I would recommend you do. It will introduce you to Amy, and how she ended up here. Amy lives in Shropshire, England, and has been telling stories since she was a wee lass. In this, part two, of my conversation with Amy, we talk about Duncan Williamson, the Norse myths, in particular, Freya, and the Northern Lights. We start off with how Amy discovered she came from a background of travelers and go on to talk about how there are parts of the land which have been tamed and there’s the wild landscapes too, and how they influence our work. Amy Douglas was introduced to storytelling at a very young age. She was telling stories to strangers by the time she was 14, and after college and a career in colour polymer moved to her true passion of storytelling. Amy was part of the initial team who started Festival at the Edge in Shropshire, has worked in radio, and met some incredible people who she has worked with and mentored under. Amy’s website is: https://amydouglas.com/ And her own podcast called, Taking the Tradition On can be found here: https://takingthetraditionon.libsyn.com/ and here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpcvx1G7TUAbeZU80cJJX8g where there are a few more episodes!
