Welcome to Proper Curious, the podcast for down to earth creatives.

We’re Rachael and Liana, two curious sisters exploring the world in a quest to live more creatively (and having an absolute belly laugh on the way).

In each episode we'll take you on a literal or metaphorical field trip, as we explore topics spanning history, art, culture, spirituality, poetry, folklore and many more. As we learn new things (including about ourselves), we’ll chat about what’s caught our imagination and what's inspired us before allowing it to influence us creatively; we might make art, write poetry, compose music, or just think a little differently. We’ll share this with you in the following episode before diving headfirst into a new topic chosen simply because we are proper curious about it.

We’re hoping this will be more than a podcast, more of a hollowing out, a carving of a space to let our minds, words and feet wander. We hope you’ll journey with us in exploring your own creativity and we invite you to share this with us. There’s no pressure here, just a down-to earth space for exploration, inspiration and lots of laughter. So, if you’re the kind of person who loves to delve into the wondrous and the weird while also having a creative hangout, then you’re in the right place.

Come and join some curious folk, we’d love to have ye.

If you go down to the woods today, you might find Liana getting lost off the M6! No seriously, join us as we venture into dark woodlands to meet the fae, the fachan, Jenny Greenteeth and others. Woodlands have long held mystery and magic and some can get lured into the forest forever, listen to hear the full tale. We have a proper laugh in this one and hopefully you will too (touch wood!).
